In the original publisher's binding with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, very attractive with a touch of bumping and fractional rubbing to the bottom fore edge. A minor closed tear to the rear top edge of the wrapper and a touch of rubbing to the barcode sticker at the rear, otherwise: light shelf wear only. Internally, firmly bound with lovely, bright, clean pages. Fine.
