In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light wear to the extremities and the odd small mark to the boards. Original price-clipped dust wrapper is sound with light wear and the odd small closed tear to the panel edges. Light sunning to the spine with the odd small mark to the panels. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. Light spotting and age toning to the endpapers.

Very Good
