Front Cover: A 1" tear is at the bottom, left, beside the Spine edge. Some creasing is at the bottom edge (extending upward, 3" x 4" in width). There are also some scratches which appear to be centered at a point at the middle of the Cover, plus a couple of scratches are at the top, left side.
Spine: A line crease down the middle from book opening, plus a few wrinkle/crease lines at the bottom (about 1/2" high). And, of course, the tear at the right side, which I mentioned.
Back Cover: An indent is at the middle, top edge, which caused a fine, horizontal wrinkle/crease line (1/4" high x 4" long).
In General: The first 70 pages have a water mark, some indents and puckering at the bottom third of the book (extending across most of the bottom edge x 1 1/2" high), and along the bottom, right edge (3" upward x 1 1/2" wide). This mark is also evident on the back of the Front Cover. The colour photos from the movie are loose, and the first page of them is missing. Page 183 has a 1" tear at the bottom, right edge. Pages 691 and 997 have smaller tears at the edge.
Story: White farmers and Missionaries who exploit Hawaii to the detriment of the locals. The colour photos are from the movie, as is the Front Cover. A good movie, but the book I haven't read. 001278
