Item description from seller
Binding sound and tight, bright gilt titling to spine, sleek matt black cloth boards have the odd dusky mark. Free of markings. A few small chafe spots at the bottom edge of the first few leaves near the hinge. We think a drop of glue went astray in the bindery, now gone. The dust jacket has a few fingernail indents and minor rubs. A small scuff at the lower rear hinge of the spine, 1cm long. This is a heavy tome, weighing in at over 4 kilos. International buyers please note the standard shipping displayed will not cover this. If you are concerned, please message us before placing an order, the added shipping will be reasonable and at cost. Size: Folio.
