The jacket has the wavy look of one been too long in its protective covering; both hinges have been reinforced with white tape. There is a library stamp on the front end paper; another on the title page; which also has a cancelled stmap and an accession one. The back end paper has a date due stamp, which shows that the book has been borrowed five times between April 1997 and June 2002. The tail of the back end paper is damaged where the bar code has been pulled out and there are two more library stamps on the back paste down. This is the limit of the library damage, internally the book is squeaky clean and solidly bound.
