| Notes |
Some slight edge wear with loss of colour to the leather to teh very edges in a very few places and a tiny bit of gilt likewise lost in just a few places. Leather in otherwise very good condition unfaded and with the gilt bright. An attractive copy of this lovely book, rarely seen in a fine binding. |
