Condition
In the publisher's original black cloth binding. Externally, generally sound. Lightly rubbed to the boards with a little wear to the extremities. There is some loss of cloth to the head and the tail of the spine, and wear to both the rear and front joints has led to rips in the cloth. Internally, firmly bound. Pages foxed throughout, but spots tend to be close to the fore edge.
