Good. The pages have an appearance of being read or studied. The pages are sun faded and slightly yellowing. There is some crinkling to some of the pages possibly from water. We flipped through this book and didn't notice any notes or underlines. The cover has visible markings and wear. Some corner dings. This is a paperback copy.
