An attractive publisher’s ticket tipped-in to front endpaper.

Light wear and rubbing to spine and boards; scuffed and marked to rear board. Foxing and offsetting to endpapers; some occasional foxing and dustiness to pages but generally clean throughout; edges of page-block spotted and dusty.

Overall, showing some light wear but otherwise a reasonably nice, clean copy – very attractive.
