Book is in Fine condition. There are a couple of black and white photos that are laid in to the book. These look to be major figures at the Scotland Yard system and maybe some trainees from abroad? A personal copy with connections. Also an A4 diagram building a fingerprint table laid in to the book.

DW is in VG condition complete but with a few closed tears and some rubbing to the spine. Also there is a large chemical or oil stain to the rear of the DW as seen. This has not transferred to the book and DW is now in protected cellophane cover so not a problem.
Unusual in this condition
