Dust wrapper is sound, with edge wear and closed tears to the extremities, notably tears to the fly leaves and joints. A little loss to the spine head and tail, with sunning to the wrap and light marking. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and generally clean, with the occasional spot or handling mark. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: Howard Leigh; Alfred Sindall. Very Good Indeed/Good.
