The spine is damaged head and tail, and has loss at the leather title square, most of which ismissing. The blue boards are rubbed and the back hinge has been reinforced with acid free tape; there is an ownership stamp on front end paper, which is torn along the inner edge and has been repaired with acid free tape, foxing throughout the book, on some pages quite ugly and the spine is cracked on page 126-127. For all its faults, it will still be alive in another hundred years. A good only copy.
