Seller's Description:
Fair in Poor jacket. 294 pages. The dustjacket is much marked, worn and has some tear. All edges have wear and closed tears. The corners are worn and have shelf depressions. The residue of an inscription is visible on the dj front cover. The spine has an open tear to the head and a closed tear to the foot. It is sunned. The lamination on the dj back cover is peeling away at the spine edge which adds to the general scruffiness of the cover. The white cloth cover is grubby. It has been much owned. The book has suffered from storage with the spine much sunned and wounded by heat. Inside, the frontispage has many previous owner inscriptions. The contents are far more pleasing. They are bright and clear, relaxed and accessible, clean and comfortable, complete and tightly bound. fk.
