The Paper Chase

This paperback edition shows signs of wear typical for its age. The cover has some creasing and edge wear, and the pages are yellowed with age but intact. There is no dust jacket, as expected for a paperback. The spine remains strong, with no loose pages, making it a readable copy despite the visible wear.
