To be hypercritical, there is the most faint, faint outline of 1/3 of a ring to front panel. visible only with the right tilt in the right lighting. Really, this need not even be disclosed. Pages lay tight. A couple of tiny spots of foxing (faint) to top page edges. Rear panel shows most faint white scuff or fingerprint (barely). As for the DJ, light rubbing to covers. 4.50 price intact on DJ flap. DJ would grade fine if not for some rubbing to exterior. A tiny instance of edge roll which is common to this DJ.
