Light fading of the board edges with slight pushing at the spine ends. Some offsetting to the end-papers with mild spotting to the prelims. Light toning and spotting to the text-block.

Some toning and fading to the spine. Light markings to the rear panel with a small area of sticker removal to the lower spine. A 5cm closed tear to the upper front spine edge.
