Condition
In the original full cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor fading to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is sound with light wear and chipping to the extremities. Minor loss to the panel edges with the odd small closed tear. A 2" closed tear to the front panel with the odd small mark to the rear panel. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with very light spotting to the first and last few pages. Previous owners' bookplates to the front pastedown and endpaper.
Very Good Indeed
