See photos for condition details. Hardcover, green cloth boards with gilt on front and spine. Exterior shows minor soiling from handling, edges and corners show bumps/wear. The internal binding has some issues which is the only reason for the low condition grade. The front hinge has a thin crack in the rear hinge got a larger ugly cracked that shows the webbing. There is also a thin line opening at page 336/337 and 174/175. The tissue guard on the frontispiece is still present and attached in the second portrait and page 246 is present. No signatures or bookplates, no library markings. The only evidence of handwriting found is on the front end page we could just make out where a price was once penciled in the corner. The lower outside corner of the pages also show light creasing from a corner bump. Once the hinges are repaired one board have a strong VG condition book.
