Dustwrapper dusty and somewhat grubby to spine; wear to folds and extremities with small loss; foxing visible to reverse side. Cloth covers a touch dusty but generally clean and bright; offsetting and foxed to endpapers; occasional foxing throughout but generally clean; spotting and dusty to edges of page-block.
