Publisher's original blue cloth stamped in gilt. Very Good. Light edge wear to cloth. Spotting, dust-soiling and indentations to top edge of pages; foxing to fore edge. Previous owner name to front paste down. Pages often show vertical streaks, which is common to this title on account of a printer malfunction.
