Cover shows sun-fading of the spine, plus faint moisture stains on outside (practically invisible) and inside edges of both cover boards. The moisture also affected only first and last blank pages, but none in interior. Hinges/binding are tight/strong. Very little or no age-tanning to paper. Interior shows no marks, stains, folds, or tears.
