The dustjacket, by Robert Quackenbush, shows the dark blue and bright orange/red colors, shows no degree of soiling or browning to the white rear panel of the dustjacket, with only the slightest of browning to the top of the flap edges.
The spine is slightly faded but not tanned. The orange topstain is a bit dusty but not faded. The original blue cloth is clean and bright, unmarked, and the gilt is untarnished.
The interior of the book is also clean and bright, with a bit of booksellers notation in pencil to the first blank page.
