In the original cloth binding. Externally, smart. With fading to the spine and chipping to the spine label. With slight rubbing to the spine head and a few marks to the boards. Hinges are starting but remain firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with offsetting to the endpapers and the odd spot. Good . Ill.: None. Good .
