I obtained this book 20 years ago. When I found out I was having a boy, and since he would be my only child, I didn't know much about raising boys, so I read this. Even though it didn't apply to all boys, there were things I could relate to, and it was interesting. My two sons have both become adults, so I am putting this up for sale. I've only read it once or twice, and there are no folds, but there is some discoloration due to aging. Please understand this before purchasing.
