Condition

In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, smart. Very light bumping to the head and tail of the spines and to the extremities. Some light marks to the boards and spines. Prior owner's ink inscription to the recto of the front endpaper of 'The "Overland" to China'. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with only the very odd spot, including to the fore edges.

Very Good Indeed
