Thr edges of the boards are chipped and slightly frayed; the boards as such are shelf shelf soiled and the front one has a now faded library stamp. The front end paper has been glued to the front paste down, presumably to hide the librry stamp. These two stamps are the only library damage. The front hinge is exposed and pp 262 and 263 have small tear along the edge, now repaired with acid free tape. In its favour, the pages are clean and the binding solid. A good + copy. Second impression.
