Condition
In the original pictorial paper boards. Externally, very smart with light shelf wear and minor bumping to the extremities. Original dust wrappers are unclipped other than East Africa and Australia. Also smart with light chipping to the extremities and the odd mark. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. The odd ink inscription to the front endpaper.
Very Good
