![]() ![]() No tears, a little crinkling off the top edges. There's a little crinkling at the spine ends, a little bit off the bottom edge of the front. There are two small tan spots on the rear. ![]() The yellow of the front and rear cover has faded to white on the spine. It has a smallish tear off the top edge of the spine, and the previous owner put a thin strip of tape over it on the unseen inside part of the jacket. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. Ryan's signature, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. ![]() I didn't see any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. I saw a bit of crinkling off the top edge of a few, quite minor. The binding seems solid, not perfect, but not a problem in any way. That isn't very conspicuous at all, quite inconspicuous actually, however the spotting at the middle page edge is very visible as you go through the pages. A little of the spotting manages to just peek over the middle edge of some of the actual pages. The middle page edge have some conspicuous, heavy spotting, the bottom edge a smaller amount. The edges and corners look good, there's one tiny dent at the rear top edge. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright. ![]() There's a small space between the top edge of the cloth at the spine and the textblock. They have some light soiling, a little off the front bottom edge and two white spots off the rear top edge. You can see the maroon covers in the photos.
