Condition
The book itself is in good condition, foxing to prelims, previous owner's gift inscription to the ffep but the main body of text in good clean condition, well bound, pages a little age-toned. Slight curve to the boards but this can be straightened out. The dustwrapper is in surprisingly good condition as is usually very battered, but this one is pretty good. Some wear to the spine ends and a small tear at the top of the front joint. Priced to spine, with bookseller's price-sticker covering the original price of 2'6. The wrapper is now within a protective sleeve.
