Cleanliness

The cover has a light layer of grime throughout, from what appears to be from contact and friction with other items. I notable larger grime spot in the top-right of the front cover.

Surface

The surface has light scuffs/scratching through the covers, for contact with other items. Moderate scratches throughout covers from a sharper item.

Materials

Foxing on some interior pages, notably the title page. The top coating of the covers is worn through in the corners and along the spine, exposing the white card beneath. Material is frayed and soft in these areas. Inner corners (along spine) are heavily creased inward. Outer covers are light-morderately bumped.

Structure

Structurally sound.
