Cover shows strong gloss and vibrant color with sharp corners visible in this photo; a faint vertical crease/scuff line runs near the bottom left edge of the cover, and there is minor edge wear at the lower left corner. The book is protected in a plastic sleeve, which introduces some glare obscuring fine surface detail. Spine appears tight with no visible major stress lines or color breaks. Interior and back cover were not assessed.
