Condition
In the publisher's original green cloth binding, in the price clipped dust wrapper. Externally rather smart. Very lightly rubbed to the boards and the spine, with some discolouration of the the cloth towards the top and bottom edges of the boards. Lightly bumped to the head of the spine, more so to the tail which has lost a little cloth. Internally, firmly bound, with bright and clean pages throughout.
Very Good
