CONDITION
In a full cloth binding with original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, excellent. Minor bumping to the extremities as well as to the head and tail of spine. Dustwrapper is smart. Edges have been reinforced with tape to prevent chipping. Tape has faded to a yellow. Otherwise, wrap is generally smart with a few marks. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Offsetting to endpapers. Just the odd spot.
Overall Condition: Near Fine Very Good Indeed
