Bookseller label to the front paste down. Dust wrapper is sound, with loss to the head of the spine and chipping to the extremities. Sunning to the spine, with the odd mark to the wraps, including a tide mark to the spine. Closed tears to the fly leaves. Internally, firmly bound with bright, clean pages.
