This is a used book purchased in the 90s. There is some age-related deterioration from long-term storage (scuffing on the corners of the cover, yellowing of the edges), but it does not interfere with reading, and there are no writings, markings, or tears. The pages are in relatively good condition, and the color frontispiece is also in a clean state. This is a Hayakawa Bunko edition from the time of the movie "Starship Troopers," and is recommended for those looking for this cover design. *Please check the photos and understand that this is a used book before purchasing.
