Hardcover. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. xxxii, 1496pp., 10pp. Text printed in red and black. Ex-library. Sticker that was on spine has cleaned up nicely. A remnant of a sticker remains to back cover. Volume is bound in original black covers, with bright gilt lettering to spine. All edges red. With marker-ribbons that admit to some wear and soiling from use. Book admits to a number of small bumps to extremities, along with general medium wear and also several tears to cloth. Edges of pages admit to fairly heavy wear, with short tears and small chips to extremities of a small number of leaves. Clear tape repair to a small number of leaves. The final leaf, which is largely blank, is 1/2 missing. The title-page admits to heavier wear, mainly near fore-edges, though with no loss of text. Medium soiling and browning to some pages from use, though, overall, most of the pages are not effected by this. Minor creasing to extremities of some leaves. Binding is sound. This certainly remains a good, sound, user friendly reading copy. This volume frequently sells for much more.  Seller Inventory # 037552
