Condition Report: Covers slightly stained; endpapers renewed, cloth repairs to joints and top of spine. Another bookseller notes "Unfortunately in the UK all 6500 copies of Manual were bound in an inferior brown cloth and it is rare to find a good copy most have damage to the head and tail or hinge splits resulting in many copies having to be rebacked with what was left of the original spine being relaid".
