Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book showed up on time and is legible, nothing is scratched out that ive seen so far. There is a lot of highlighting in different colors occasional pencil notes that are barely legible, not exactly helpful. The spine is week and there are torn pages but not missing pages so far. A large amount of stickers indicating that it is used on the spine, as if the condition wasn't evidence enough.
