This book is in good condition. There is a little what I would call warping to the dust jacket as shown in the pictures. There looks to be a little wear on the actual book at the top and near the binder but all pages are intact and none are torn or written on. It is a signed copy and has a little sticker on the front that reads Autograph Copy. The copyright date is 1997. This comes from a smoke and pet free home. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO COME AND PICK THE ITEM UP. Thank you.
