A very good copy, the binding firm with the usual bumping of the thin boards and mottling to the blue cloth. The contents, with a previous owner's name to the front endpaper and only the occasional foxing spot are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that has a few tiny nicks at the spine tips and a single short closed tear (without loss) to the lower spine fold. The dustwrapper remains very clean and bright, albeit heavily faded to the red lettering on the spine, and entirely without repair or restoration. Not price-clipped (5/- net to the lower front flap).
