The Art and Practice of Hawking

Significant edge and corner wear. Heavy silverfishing to base edge of front cover, Smudging to cover surfaces. Moderate discoloration [no foxing] to faces of textblock. Collection sticker and signature from prior owner inside front cover. Spine has a bit of a wiggle to it, but is holding decently. Otherwise in charming shape- the pages are clean, bright, and remarkably crisp. Titling on spine is done in a bright gilding. Dust jacket is beset by fading, creasing, rubbing, spotting, staining, and a few shallow surface scratches. Largest end creases/chips extend appx 20mm [~3/4"] from top end. It is, however, in one contiguous piece with no tape repairs, and has been put in new protective mylar jacketing.
