Has some small wear and creases but is in great condition! Sadly, someone did write in this saying, “ Dear Oman, thought you might enjoy this book! I love your class! -Emma”. I do NOT know anything about that writing as I have not owned it for very long. If you like world history and are ok with some writing on the very first blank page of the book, this book is for you! It includes maps, diagrams, text, pictures, and little blurbs of information.
