Mia ★★★★★

The bumped spine end was disclosed honestly and honestly it's barely noticeable on the shelf. Pages are tight and clean, no foxing or writing anywhere. Happy to finally have the paperback of this one sitting next to my hardcover copies.

Lily ★★★★★

Was hunting for this one to complete my Time Quintet set and the pictorial wrappers on this copy are bright with barely any shelf wear. The bump at the upper spine end is tiny and honestly hard to spot on the shelf.

Stella K. ★★★★★

The spine is still snug despite that slight bump at the top, and the color pictorial cover looks vibrant after all these years. Arrived exactly as described, clean enough that I don't mind the rubbed corners one bit.
