Condition is based mostly on age of book. These older books have been read through and show it. The cover is clean, no stains or markings, but the corners are rounded and may have creases. The inside pages are lightly browning but are still very readable. There is some spine curl and spine creases along the spine. The back has a tear and there are a few creases. There is also pencil price mark (ie .45) that was erased on the back left corner. I would estimate this to be at VG. It is not in as bad a shape as the official VG condition sounds, many points are missing. The price reflects the condition here.
A stock picture is shown here. It is shipped well -padded and bagged/backed. I am not a professional grader so this is just my best estimate. Contact me if you have any questions or wish to see some pictures.
