    Condition

    In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, smart. Some minor marks to the boards and spine. Light bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. A touch of fading to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very lightly age-toned and clean, with a couple of very light handling marks.

    Very Good
