Condition
Good reading or reference copy, not a collectible-grade example. The cover shows edge wear, corner curling, and light soiling. The pages are strongly age-tanned, a characteristic of the 1980s Harvest paper stock. The binding is sound and the text is clean and fully legible. No highlighting, no writing in the margins, no holes or tears. Please see the photographs for details of the exact copy offered.
