Jacket has a small open tear at spine cap and there is a £2.50 mark in ballpoint ink at bottom of inner flap. musty odor- most likely resulting from previous water exposure; many pages have waves or ripples running along the top which isn't very noticeable. So, if you've lost your sense of smell, (COVID sequelae) then this book might be for you! Otherwise, micro-chamber sheets could be a good remedy. A quite nice book otherwise. And for a standard octavo size volume, a rather heavy one, due to the paper stock used; the type usually reserved for or seen in art books.
