Purchased at a bookstore and read by my two children. The cover is sun-faded due to the bookshelf being in a sunny spot, and there are also scuffs and creases on the corners. The inside is fine, but it seems that other books in the 54-character series are also prone to cover damage. For those looking for a copy, how about it for the winter break or while waiting for lessons?
