Plays perfectly throughout with nothing at all to fault.
No clicks, ticks or pops and beautifully clean

Apart from a tiny nick on the back opening edge (please see close-up photos) the cover is crisp, clean, sharp and fresh with a glass-like gloss to the outer surfaces and a clean interior.
All edges are unworn and all spine text is clear and bold.
EX because of the nick otherwise NM
