book fine save for two lower bumped corners. Unclipped pristine jacket is fine save for fading on spine. This book truly has that "looks as if it was printed yesterday" appearance- from the white paper, to the bright green cloth binding and especially to the lovely textured wrapper- bellissima!! I only wish I look as good when I reach "65"!!
