Condition notes: very nice matching copies of the handsomely bound 1997 facsimile reprint with b&w illustrations and maps. Lacking dust-jackets, likely issued without. Light wear to sound bindings, spine ends rolled but corners sharp, gilt edges bright with stray scratches. Interior clean and unmarked but for a very occasional light stain. We personally inspect every book we offer. |
