Smudge about 3/4” down page and wrinkle to top of page xiii. (Please see last photo.) Some wrinkling (Similar to that shown in last photo on page xiii.) to the inner page edges (closest to spine) on pages 167-172, 185-188, 233-236, 249-252, 279-284, 295, 298, and 313-315. Please note that these faint wrinkles do not detract from the text and appear to be stress lines from the way the book was handled previously.
