Wear and tear on dustjacket, mainly around edges, and soiling on outer edges of pages, please look at the photos, except for the blank pages in the front and back, the interior is not affected, text pages are clean. If you aren't looking for collectible condition and don't mind a book that doesn't have that clean, crisp, new book look and feel, this is fine for reading. Very interesting novel about the ill-fated love affair between Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas.
