Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no wear save some gentle bumping to spine ends. A hint of toning to board edges but barely and not page toning to speak of. or toning. Attractive, and quite scarce clipped dust-jacket, (9/6 price on rear flap), has chips at the spine ends and tips, a few closed edge-wears and soiling to the rear panel.
