The bottom left corner has been nibbled, and the staples have rusted (and consequently there is some rust staining around the staples, and the middle pages have come loose); the cover is much marked and discoloured with age wear including scratching, scuffing, indentations, creasing and bumping, and the pages are likewise discoloured and marked with some age wear.
