Covers show some shelf wear. Possibly the figures on the front cover have been colored -- I can't tell if it is that or printed that way. There is a small probably waterstain on the fore-edge of most pages. It doesn't extend past the edge on perhaps half the pages, plus a couple pages have small tears.
