Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Slight rubbing and bumping to extremities, resulting in very slight loss to cloth. Slight soiling to spine. The odd handling mark to boards, more apparent to rear board. Front hinge cracked with binding materials slightly exposed, loose but holding, with first partially disbound but just holding. Rear hinge cracked but firm. Internally, generally, firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean, if slightly age toned, more so to first and last few leaves. One or two spots and the odd handling mark, heavier to fore edge and first and last few leaves.
Very Good
