Good. Beautiful hardback with dust jacket, but does have prior owner's information inside the cover, and is embossed (sealed like a notary seals a document) with the prior owner? ? ? ? s initials on a few pages. Does not affect the reading of the text, or the appearance of the book as the embossing is the color of the paper.
