Condition
In the original red cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing to the extremities. Fading to the spine and the board edges. Small splits in the cloth resulting in minor loss to the spine and board tips. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd spot. Light scattered spotting to the first and last few pages. Light age toning to the endpapers.
Very Good
