Condition
In the original cloth binding. With the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, very smart, with bumping to the spine head and tail. With a small white mark to the rear board. Dust wrapper is also very smart, with bumping to the spine head and tail and minor general shelf wear to the wrap. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are marginally age toned, but clean, with only the author's signed inscription to the title page.
Very Good Indeed
