Seller's Description:
VG+ Wrappers. Dusky blue rear cover and spine, colorful dusky blue illustrated front cover are all clean and glossy. Just a trace of rubbing at the head of the spine and a nearly unnoticable trace of rubbing in a few places around the outside edges. Binding is straight and tight. Light scuffing on the outside edge of the textblock-not enough to marr the appearance of the book, but just enough to prevent the book from a NF grade. Pages are otherwise clean, white, and crisp. 538 pages.
