In the publisher's original cloth binding, rebacked, with the original cloth laid down. Externally, lovely, with just very minor shelf wear and a small amount of bumping to the extremities. Library bookplate to the front pastedown, library stamp and ink notation to the title page, and library stamp to the verso of the title page. Publisher's presentation copy stamp to the title page. Internally, firmly bound. A slight bit of offsetting to the front free-endpaper, otherwise pages are bright and clean throughout.
