| Notes | Blue cloth with gilt titles to spine is clean but has the patterns of the dust jacket sunned like a stencil making faint patterns onto the cloth, mainly to the spine, which is not unusual for this edition. The dust jacket is still bright to the front but tanned to the spine and has a few closed tears and some minor hcips and slight creasing to edges. Some slight sunning to the cloth at the very edges. Binding is sound. Not price clipped but the price has a faint pen line through it. |
