Firm and tight with no marks, stains, stamps or labels. Book is covered with clear adhesive film. No dust wrapper. Inscribed 'Gladys Lloyd with Compliments from T.H. Dey "Our true intent is all for your delight" (Midsummer nights dream)'. (Dey peppers his text with quotations from Shakespeare.) A Gladys Lloyd was an actress and wife of Edward G. Robinson.
