| Notes | Cloth is a little rubbed to very edges and there are few, very faint minor marks to the cloth. Faint foxing to title page and rarely within. Some foxing to the closed page edges. Loosening at the gutter next to the frontis has been stabilised with professional tape, hardly visible, that will not peel or turn brown. Text is clean. Binding is sound. |
