Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. Re-issue. An ex-library hardback; book has nice blue cloth hardback with gold lettering to spine; heavy red library stamps just on fep, which is on 1 of the illustrations; I cant see stamps any where else. However it looks as if someone has dipped a small corner of the book (bottom right hand corner) in coffee or tea) as it has left that kind of mark on the corner of every page through the bookl it is only a very small matk - certainly just in margin, not affecting text, but tuns throughout. You can see it on the feont cover; d/w is not price clipped - just has the evidence of this same mark! ; Ex-Library; 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Seller Inventory # 99475
