Lacking the front and rear boards, but retaining the original spine. With rubbing to its extremities and a library's location label to the tail. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright, with occasional scattered spots and a library ink impression to pages 7 and 13. Fair . Ill.: None. Fair .
