The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling and staining to the boards. The corners and spine ends are bumped with a little damage and loss to the cloth at the spine ends. There are light dents near the middle of the fore edge of the front board and a little damage and loss to the cloth near the middle of the bottom edge of the front board. The contents are tight and clean apart from a few scattered small marks and stains, including some soiling and light staining to the title-page, and offsetting from the plates on the facing pages.
