TRUST OUR FEEDBACK RATING-USED GOOD.1. Construction of the book is very good i.e. Tight spine. No loose pages. Pages are in good condition but not flawless. Probably no writing, highlighting, or underlining on the pages, but pages are not perfect or mark free, and occasionally have something small. No page discoloration. Front may have more obvious marks, creases or small tears and or some light rubbing. Normal shelf wear along the edges and sides of the book. A good useable book.
