Arrived early which was great. I think I would have issued this as acceptable vs good, but that's my personal opinion and not sure of how the rankings for for seller items. Very visible binding creasing, I will say I haven't come across visible marks/writing or tears/page folds within though. Overall it's still a great buy for the price! Definitely a wonderful seller! Would purchase from seller again and would recommend.
