The back cover is shelf soild and the edges bumped and there is some minor dog-earing intermittent throughout the book. The worst is a printer's fault: from page 25 to page 40 the bottom blank edge has a series of tiny holes along its length and once again itermittently from page 17, a vertical crease along the page which does not impact on the printing. For all these faults it remains a nice copy. Australian edition.
