Small indentation of erased pencil pricing on front endpaper, otherwise internally clean, tight & unmarked, brown flecking to fore-edge. Grey printed board covers surprisingly clean given their character with no obvious wear bar sl.top spine rubbing.

Main drawback is the very small print-size of the prelims and intro.
