Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Condition of this book is remarkable, would display so well. Originally no doubt intended as a school prize (the crest on front represents Queen Elizabeth's Ipswich), it unusually has no presentation plate. It is bound in premium calf/leather, with ornate gilt letters and patterns and raised bands on spine. Red page edging is completely unworn, and endpapers marbled and virtually spotless. First few pages have a small stain running through them, and very slight creasing to edges. After that it is smart undamaged leaves throughout. Just to put the icing on the cake, the three maps near the back are still firmly attached and are complete, undamaged and have sharp creases and edges. There is some very light scratching on front cover which i've shown in last pic. Please look at all the photos, happy to answer questions and thanks for viewing.…
