The boards are shelf soiled; the head and tail of the spine are chipped, and a small section along the side of the spine is beginning to unravel; there's an ownership signature on the front paste down and another on the front end paper covered with whiteout; there's intermittent foxing throughout the book and a closed tear on the head of page 55 has been repaired with acid free tape. There are pages of wonderful ads at the beginning and the the end of the book. A very good - copy with no inner markings and in solid binding.
