Minor bumping to the head and tail of spine, and to the extremities. Small mark to the white cloth to the hinge at rear board. Light offsetting to the recto of the front endpaper. Dustwrapper has some edgewear and like rubbings to the leaves. Small chip to the head of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean throughout. Very Good Indeed.
