Condition

A good copy. The book opens to the title page as it is lacking the ffep and half-title. There is a hint of a slight lean to the spine, and some minor rippling to the cloth along the bottom edge of the front board. Light scattered foxing throughout, but slightly heavier to the page edges. Otherwise, this copy remains in strong readable condition.
