| Notes |
Cream cloth is much darkened to spine but less so to the still very attractive front. Softened to spine ends and with a little rubbing to corner tips. Scattered foxing throughout. Faint water stain to lower edges causing some page crinkling. Some light tanning to pages. Sound, square tight copy of this attractive volume. |
