Condition

In the original blue cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. Light fading to the spine and board edges with the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd spot. Light age toning to the endpapers.

Very Good
