Copy has NEVER been read and is in awesome condition! I'm selling it because I originally read the first three books of the series on Kindle, then wanted to buy the physical copies because I ADORED the series so much. I purchased this paperback copy of book#4 to read, but then ended up buying the entire series in hardcover (the problems of being an avid reader.....). Edges are crisp! No wear to copy. DISCLAIMER: bottom left corner of front cover has slight bend/creasing (picture included in listing). I did not purchase book in store and ordered it online- crease was on book already when it came in the mail. The crease was not large enough to warrant requesting a return/refund. It does not affect the readability of the book!
