Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart, with just a small amount of shelf wear and bumping to the head and tail of the spine and extremities. Internally, firmly bound. A few spots to the fore-edge, and a few spots to the pages, which are otherwise bright and clean.

Very Good Indeed
