There is no dust jacket, the front cover has some surface scuffs which appear as small matted patches, the edge has some minor scuffing, and the two top corners have some scuffing which has very slightly frayed (minimal) and is slightly lightened in colour here. The opening edge has some minimal denting and a couple dots of white, the bottom edge has two pronounced dents which have caused the material to create a slight bubble and the adjoining corners are also a little bit scuffed. The spine has a slight in-bowing dent across its width and the binding is slightly waving down the length but there appears to be no other damage here. There are hardly any signs of wear to majority of the back (occasional scuff) however the damage is situated around the edges. The top edge has a pronounced dent near the left corner, and the left corner itself has slightly crumpled (creased and almost a little pushed in), the opening length appears to have no damage, however the bottom edge has another pronounced dent matching the one above and the one on the front of the book and there is one more mild dent along the same edge. The first page/endpaper has some light smudging in the upper right corner and a tiny mark 1/3rd way down possibly in pencil and the dedications page has some black smudges in the bottom right quarter, acknowledgements page has a single central black line/mark. 10 pages toward the end have different variations of yellow highlighter marks, some minimal and some have a lot, however all text is still legible.
