This book does show some signs of wear around edges. The first inside page (which would have edge sticking out from behind front cover) is gone. Also, the first four pages are coming away from the spine on the bottom as shown in photo. While this is called the "full color edition" it is actually the 2 color edition as, from what i understand, the full color was never made. Too much to explain here, lol, but you can look that up online for more explanation if you would like.
