*Cover/Exterior - Cover color graphics remain vivid, albeit with a not-unusual modicum of surface creasing in the soft, paper covers. Nevertheless, nothing so excessive as to in any way diminish any of the aesthetic appeal and certainly none of the intrinsic value of the interior contents
*Binding/Spine - interior contents remain bound together, though they’ve separated from the front/back covers; the front/back covers remain intact as one unit, and the interior bound contents another
*Interior Contents - a handful of pages exhibit corner folds/crease lines
