Condition
In the publisher's original red cloth binding. Externally, smart, with light bumping to the extremities and to the spine. A touch of fading to the extremities and spine, and the odd mark. Hinges are very slightly strained, but holding firm. Ink inscription to front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean, with the odd annotation. The occasional spot, moreso to the first and last pages. Folding table is very good, with the odd closed tear and ink annotation.
Very Good Indeed
