Condition
In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. Spine and extremities are faded. Light bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities, resulting in a small amount of loss. Some marks to the cloth, including a damp stain to the joints, heavier to the tails. A couple of very small chips to the front joint. Rear hinge is starting but firm. Small tidemark to the tail of the paste downs and endpapers, and to the first and last few pages of text.
