The front and back covers are nice clean and bright but does have some minor wear which is mainly along the edges. The spline is also in very good condition with only minor signs of wear on the edges. Internally the book is in fantastic condition, all 184 pages are present and attached, they are clean and bright without any signs of damage or markings on any page, with the exception of some minor age sports on a few of the pages. A truly fantastic example of a very rare vintage Star Trek book from 1977. All orders received before 4.00pm Monday to Fridays are shipped the same day
