The front board has faded to the top and bottom edges of the front cover, as well as the spine and bottom edge of the rear board. The top right hand corner has a small  bump.The inside board pastedown has the corner removed and there is a tiny nibble from the fep corner. The front inside board has a neat long  inscription,obscured by the front flap. The front end paper is slightly creased to the bottom right hand corner and there is very minor creasing throughout,i
I think due to the shiny nature of the paper, otherwise the internal pages are bright, bold and clean. This includes all the colour illustrations. The rear end paper has red ink marks.

The top and bottom of the spine have some loss. There is a rubbed line near the top and the back cover hinge is rubbed with a tiny hole half way down. The back cover has two 2cm closed tears with a crease in between to the bottom edge. The left hand top and bottom corners have chips. The top and bottom edge has a crease with rubs and tiny closed tears  running along from the middle to the spine. The front and rear flaps are good. Not price cut. The rear of the jacket is clean.
