    Condition

    Bound in crushed half morocco with marbled paper to the boards. Retaining original rear free endpaper. Externally, the binding is lovely with the exception of the hinges, which have failed, with the text block separate from the covers. Internally, the front and rear few pages are disbound but present, with generally bright pages with the odd spot, small closed tear, and light handling marks.

    Very Good
