i would describe the cover as very good for this age. there are no rips, only sights of wear. the upper left corner has some bending marks, but not too strong, the upper right corner had a sticker on it or something on it that was ripped of and theres a small part with the color print ripped of with it. nothing big and you have to take a closer look. theres also some glue mark left from the sticker i think. beside that normal usage marks, nothing bad, everyting at all in a very good state i would say
