The front and back covers are still nice and bright, but does have some wear which is mainly along the edges and a few minor creases. The spline is also in fantastic condition with only some minor signs of wear on the edges. Internally the book is in very good condition all 348 pages are present and attached, they are clean and bright without any signs of damage or wear or markings on any page, other than the page edges are beginning to brown slightly due to age and the type of paper that was used back in the day. A truly fantastic example of a very rare vintage Star Trek paperback book from yesteryear. All Orders received before 4.00pm Mondays to Fridays are dispatched the same day.
