Item description from seller

See photos for condition details. Hardcover with dust jacket. DJ shows scuffing and soiling, edges and corners show bumps/small tears/chipping. Blue cloth boards underneath show some fading along edges and at the hinge areas, corners mildly bumped. Internal binding is good and text pages are tight. No signatures or bookplates, no library markings, no remainder marks, no handwriting found. Pages are lightly toned due to age and there is some spotting and foxing present, though this is mainly limited to the end pages and pastedowns and was caused by the reaction to the dust jacket paper.
