Dust wrapper for 'Billycock Hill' has a large chip running along the head of the spine and both front and rear panels. This has an amateur reinforcement to improve its appearance. With a couple smaller chips to the edges of the wrap. Other wrappers are very smart, with only minor edge wear. With handling marks to 'Kirrin Island'. Internally, with binding tender to 'Billycock Hill', with page 21 to plate facing page 25 disbound but present and several leaves prior to that at risk of detaching with further handling.
