Fine covers; text clean and tight but with former owner's name in two places; end papers very foxed; minor foxing to page ends when closed. A very nice, hardcover copy in a lovely binding. Apparently missing a page of color plates, but there is no evidence in the binding that anything has been removed. Seller Inventory # 152758
