Hardback, with dust wrapper. Some thumbing. Gently handled. Edges of boards are showing some general wear. Discolouration of pastedowns, free endpapers and title pages, albeit light. Page edges also bear foxing and some browning. Otherwise this book is in good condition. Dust wrapper thumbed. Some scuff and light scratches front and back, otherwise in good condition. *We try to describe the faults of our books meticulously but they usually present better than they sound.
