Condition

In the publisher's original cloth bindings. Externally, very smart. Slight rubbing and bumping to extremities. Slight offsetting and the odd spot to endpapers. Dust wrapper, generally smart. The odd spot to wraps with slight age toning. The odd handling mark to wraps with slight soiling. Rubbing and bumping to extremities resulting in the odd chip, crease, and closed tear to extremities, more so to heads and tails of spines. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with one or two spots to fore edges and first and last few leaves.

Very Good
