Condition

In the original publisher's cloth binding, rebacked with the original spine and boards restored. Externally, sound, with rubbing and marking to the boards. A little bumping to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned with the odd spot, mark, and small tidemark. Plates with some edge wear, resulting in some closed tears. Small tape repairs to the reverse of some plates, taping up closed tears.
