| Notes | Leather is a little scuffed and occasionally scratched with some changes in colour mainly to the upper board. The leather retains a lovely patina and the gilt is bright. Front endpaper is wrinkled and age toned. Faint stain affecting a portion of the earlier pages to the margins and occasionally causing wrinkling. One page has a short closed tear. Suggestion of dustiness occasionally. Text is generally clean and firmly bound however. An attractive, clean, tight and square copy. |
