The odd small marks to boards. Prior owner's bookplate tipped to front pastedown. Front hinges slightly split and strained. Internally firmly bound. Pages slightly age toned to extremities but bright and clean, with the odd spot. Heavy spotting to first and last few pages. Pages occasional creased from previous dog-earing to volume VIII.
