An ex-library book with obvious wear. Has some damage to the cover, including a fair amount of creasing, sticky-tape, and the usual library stickers, but integrity still intact. The 4th page in the book has a white Blacktown City Library sticker on it with some writing on it. Minor creasing, but no rips or tears. No writing in margins, no underlining and highlighting of text, and no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text. An aged and worn, but still a very clean, solid and readable copy.
