Bad Condition

The book itself is great, but unfortunately, it arrived in very poor condition. There are sections where the words are missing. It looks like they may have been torn off by tape. Several pages have been torn down the middle and retaped and are falling out of the binding. It appears to have been a library book in its past life, which explains the wear and tear.
