A great reference book for all classical information. This is a large and heavy book with 971 pages, so if you live in Devon you might want to collect it to save the postage. The front and rear boards are darker as you can see from the photographs and I suspect those areas were out of the sunlight and that is why they are darker than the rest of the boards. Internally there is no foxing or marks and the pages are in excellent condition. International postage may be less than quoted depending on location.   Any queries through e-bay please. Paypal only. Thank you.
