The cloth element of the boards and spine is worn to the spine edges. The gilt titling to the spine is worn and slightly sunned. The pasted title card to the front board has some minor foxing in evidence. The paste up pages and free end papers are tanned and have some minor foxing. The half title page also has some minor foxing. The pages are yellowed but clean, and the binding is tight. There is evidence of water ingress to the front paste up page and the front free end papar. This has subsequently affected the half title page slightly. The pages are printed doubled and uncut. The closed page block showes some foxing - particularly to the top closed page block. There is no dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 215
