The previous owner's name is written on the first page. I did not find any other writing, underlining or highlighting on any other page. No creases or tears. The cover has a few tiny scuffed spots, mostly from contact with a surface, but it still looks very good. The binding is straight and strong. The book does not appear to have been used much (if at all). Heavily illustrated in color, 1129 pgs. This is a heavy book (weighs more than 6 lbs. unboxed).
