Good condition. One top corner has a small vertical crease to the tip, measuring just 1cm wide and running through most pages - this will flatten if weight is added over a short period of time.  Bottom 1.5 cm of paper cover of spine has come away but all pages are secure.  Colours bright and clean throughout.  Rare find!
