Titled and decorated in gilt to spine and front board, light bumping to spine ends, some of the gilt a trifle dulled, in a clean, strong, pricelipped dustjacket, a touch faded to the spine panel,a small closed tear to the front panel, and with some abrasion and two pinholes to the lower edge of the rear panel.
