Condition: The front cover has a tiny, light stain spot below the elephant's tail; clean back cover and spine. Bright gilt lettering on the front cover and spine. Sharp cover corners. There is a minor crack at the front hinge between the bibliography page and the half title page resulting in the front cover being just a bit shaky. The back cover is firmly attached. Nice interior - the pages are mostly clean with only an occasional random, light smudge found here and there; pages 47 & 48 each have a small, light pink-ish stain at the upper-outer corner; staining on pages 68-75.
