Rebound in marbled paper covered boards, with endpapers renewed. Fading to spine, with a bump to back strip tail. Otherwise, externally excellent. Internally, firmly bound. Blind stamp to tail of title page and following two leaves. Handling marks and minor discolouration of first and final leaf. Pages otherwise clean and bright. Very Good Indeed.
