Condition
In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light bumping and minor rubbing to the extremities. Fading to the spine as is typical with green cloth. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot and minor age toning to the extremities. Further spotting to the first and last few pages with a contemporary ink inscription to the edition page.
Very Good
