Dustwrapper rubbed and worn to extremities and folds, light creasing and scuffing; age toning, especially to spine and flaps; untidily price-clipped. Cloth a touch dusty, some fading and occasional mark but generally clean and bright; lightly knocked to spine ends. Offsetting to endpapers; pages a little age toned but generally clean throughout.

Nonetheless, remaining a nice, clean copy – attractive.
