Seller's Description:
Very Good. It is rather shelf-rubbed and edge-worn. The corners of the wraps are beginning to fray ever so slightly. Despite this, the wraps remain bright and bold. The back inner wrap is slightly marked. Aside from this, there are no other markings or inscriptions and the rest of the pages are immaculate and crisp. Overall tightly bound.
