    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally very smart. One or two vanishingly slight spots of damp staining to front boards. Two white marks to lower edge of front board. The odd minor handling mark to boards. Slight rubbing and bumping to extremities. The odd spot of glue residue to the front free endpaper, not affecting other pages or front paste down. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with just one or two very minor handling marks.

    Very Good
