The book is in good condition considering its age. The hardcover shows wear, particularly on the spine and corners, but the binding remains intact. There is no dust jacket. The pages are slightly yellowed, a common trait for publications from this period, but they are clean and free of inscriptions or library markings. The text block is solid, and the tabbed index remains functional.
