Condition
In the publisher's original pictorial paper wraps. Externally, smart. Wraps slightly soiled with the odd slight handling mark. Slight rubbing and bumping to extremities, resulting in the odd minor chip and closed tear, more so to head and tail of spine. First endpaper fully disbound. Bookplate from "Martin & Pamela Finch: Exlibris Gastronomique" to front paste down. Previous seller's small sticker to front paste down. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean, with the odd slight spot to first and last few leaves.
