It's in pretty good condition, giving the fact that I got it when I was pregnant with my 6 year old(I also have a 2,3,and 4 year old :) the book is very helpful, I also have the 2nd one for the toddler years. I might add that one too, I need to find it, first.it's from a smoke free home, but it's its been in a cheast for about a year.
