Condition

In the original publisher's cloth binding, in the original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, smart. A few light marks to the boards and spine. Minor bumping to the spine and extremities. Dustwrapper is edge worn with some chips and closed tears, including to the backstrip. Some marks to the wraps. Backstrip is discoloured. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with a few scattered spots to the first and last few pages. Colour plate facing page 8 is misprinted, resulting in the image being fuzzy in appearance.

Very Good
