Bump to the front board of ‘Ferrara’, and bumping to the extremities of ‘Assisi’. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean. Bookplate to the front paste down of ‘Toledo’ and ‘Cambridge’. Lacking front free end paper to ‘Toledo’. Offsetting to the end papers of ‘Cairo’, ‘London’, ‘Verona’, ‘Siena’, ‘Avignon’ and ‘Cambridge’. The odd spot to ‘Moscow’, ‘Chartres’ and ‘Rome’; more so to the first and last few pages.
