I've read it a couple of times since I bought it. The condition is good, but there are some folds on the corners and some stains if you look closely. Please check the pictures. This is a used book, so please consider purchasing if you are not overly concerned about its condition. It will be sent in a simple package, in a plastic bag to prevent water damage, and then in an envelope.
