CONDITION: This book is in overall very good condition with wear and discoloration to the cover and spine. Spine is slightly cocked, and most of the gilt has eroded, with chipping to the head and foot. Corners are slightly bumped and show some wear. 1/2" dent on the edge of the front cover. Front and back inner hinges are cracked, and there are some cracks throughout at the gutter with some exposed stitching, yet boards are firmly attached and binding is sound. Leaves have fairly evenly toned and some occasional foxing is throughout, particularly within the endpapers. Pages are clean without marginalia, except for a former owner's name written on the front flyleaf in ink, and a former owner's stamp that has been stricken, also ink. Bears purple stamp of former bookseller, "L.S. Matthews & Co. Medical Books, 2623 Olive St., St. Louis." Pages bear mild creasing at the foot within the introductory pages and several pages in the middle of this edition. Small wormhole within front flyleaf. Continuous dampstain at the foot that runs from about pages 41-78, yet the text remains uncompromised. A nice copy. Additional photographs available upon request. Full refund if not satisfied.
