This book is in good condition. I inherited it from a family member, and while the book is no longer in plastic, I don't think it's ever been read. I only lightly opened some of the pages to check the overall condition, and it genuinely feels like it has never been cracked. I was EXTREMELY careful in this process. I believe I am the second owner of this book, and have the purchase receipt from the first owner. The book has been kept in a well regulated space inside a closed glass library cabinet since I came in possession of it in 2007. Please reach out if you would like to see any more photos of the book.
