Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, lovely with just a touch of bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Original price-clipped dust wrapper is very smart, with some very light edgewear, and a small closed tear to the front joint. Internally, firmly bound. A touch of age-toning to the extremities, as is usual, but pages are clean throughout.
