"I recommend to readers this revision of an edition that several generations of students and teachers have preceded me in endorsing. In a book of manageable size, the editors have succeeded in reconciling reliable scholarship with modern accessibility, and in balancing attention to individual poems with encouragement to explore the Gawain-corpus as a whole. Their edition provides a setting that can only deepen twenty-first-century appreciation for these luminous Middle English poems."-Parergon, "I recommend to readers this revision of an edition that several generations of students and teachers have preceded me in endorsing.

There are many section’s throughout the book where the page print is barely readable. That is not a book that anyone would consider as you described “very good” condition.
