Text in very good, tight, clean condition, with light age-browning and minor wear to the front blank end papers and frontis/tissue-guard only - minor. Hardly any foxing/age-browning. Altogether a very good copy. A large (30 x 21 cms) and heavy book requiring extra postage. See photographs attached. Seller Inventory # BM3416
