7+ (Very Fine+): The book shows some small areas of light to medium wear on cover with minor creasing at a few of the corners; there is a small stain on the Table of Contents page and the page opposite it. There is some small, light handwriting on the chart.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
