    In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, lovely. Original unclipped dust wrapper is smart, with some light shelf wear and spotting to the flyleaves and interior of the wrap. Internally, firmly bound. Ink to title page has smudged just slightly due to printing error, otherwise pages are bright and clean.
