The bottom fore edge corners are lightly knocked but hardly noticeable really. Internally there are no inscriptions and the pages are nice and clean throughout, with a little light toning to the end papers and page block edge. The dust jacket is scarce in ant condition and this one is in lovely clean and still bright condition.
