Condition
This copy is in very good condition for age. There is one scratch to the upper board that has made a small tear to the leather and a few other minor surface abrasions. The giltwork is crisp, and the inner binding is secure. The last page of the index and the rear endpaper is foxed but the contents are in otherwise very clean condition. School prize label to the front pastedown. A lovely copy.
