Condition
Bound in full morocco leather with gilt lettering and decorative borders. There is only some mild wear to the extremities, with just some mild bumping, rubbing, and marks to the boards. The rear inner hinge is very slightly strained but still good and firm. The binding is tight and firm. Internally the pages have intermittent heavy spotting throughout, and very mild browning. Overall the condition is very good with a good only interior.
