Good for being used
I'm actually surprised this book came in as good as condition has it did, it does have like a bend in the front but that could be from its ride to me. I can tell this book is older because the pages are an off white color compared to my other for dummies books. I can't wait to further my skills with this book! Great deal for 6 bucks!
