Externally very smart with slight fading to the spine, rubbing and bumping to the extremities with minimal closed tears to the head and tail of the spine and the front joint, light rubbing to the joints and rear. Front hinge starting after pp. viii. Internally pp. viii weak, otherwise firmly bound. Pages lightly age toned and generally clean with the odd minor spot to the front. Very Good
