The embossed titles and designs on the front and rear boards are clear and attractive; the spine embossed designs are dark and almost impossible to see, but they are present and tangible. Internally, the pages have some dark finger smudges here and there, otherwise they are tight, bright, clean, clear and unmarked. The plates are strikingly clear. There is a tissue guard to the frontispiece, but otherwise no tissue guards in front of the plates, if there ever were any. A solid, complete, and attractive copy, the nicest I have seen.
