6 (Fine+): The book is well-worn, and some of the pages have been secured with tape into the binding. There are small spots of discoloration on a few of the pages, a small tear on the first blank page and moderate wear at either end of the cover's spine.

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