.....This book is not new, but was in a library, and this is the Book Club Edition, too. There is some writing on the very first page made with a pen, and pencil. Look at all the photos for any reference. The dust jacket is ripped in multiple places, and has scrapes. The pages are slightly yellowed from age, and has a very slight musky smell. The pages are good, and so is the binding. The cover has scrapes around the edges in places. If you have any questions, just let me know. Have a great day, and God bless.
