Octavo. 268 pp. with 4 pages of advertisements preceding title; lacks front free endpaper. Publisher's blind-stamped boards gilt lettering to spine. Boards show loss and fraying to spine ends; moderate edgewear; corners bumped; mild scuffing and spotting. Binding is sound. Heavy spotting to endpapers; lighter to interior and text legible throughout. Very Good.
