Condition

In the original full cloth binding. Externally, sound with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. The odd small mark to the boards with small splits in the cloth to the head of the spine resulting in minor loss. Front hinge starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. Bookseller's label to the rear pastedown.

Very Good
