Item description from seller

377 + all 16 photographic illustrated pages. ( all 19 listed illustrations are here and correct!, the list is incorrect as states No. 2 being to face page 10, but it is infact page 10 as it is a line drawing, with all others being from photographs, even then there a various illustrated pages containing 2 from photographs on one page, but only the ones opposite page 310 and 320 listed as 2 separate illustrations each). In a full leather hardback binding for Kings College Cambridge Choir School in gilt with coat of arms to front cover, NO stamps inside, so maybe a copy was given to each member of the choir. Size 19 x 12.5cm approx. Condition Binding very good, some edge rubbing, mostly to the spine. Contents Very good, clean & tight, did not see any inscriptions or stamps etc. Page edges gilt.To sum up looks like a luxury prize binding, but no stamps or prize label etc inside, possibly not even fully read.
