Dust jacket is included, clean and free of rips or stains with some corner bumping. Hardcover is printed with a small spiral. Both endpages are stained where the dust jacket is folded. A small amount of pencil writing on the front endpage. Lots of foxxing on the top of the pages and endpages, a small bit on the sides of the pages. The binding is tight. There are variants in the covers, mostly due to trying to cut down on money costs. This seems to not be one of the variations.
