Good. LARGE PRINT hardcover library withdrawal. Scuff to the plastic protective covers. Edgewear to the covers. The front cover has a forward lean. Soil to the page edge. The card pocket page has been removed by the library leaving a jagged edge. The text flows clearly. Still useful and economically priced due to the wear.
