Seller's Description:
Good+ in Good+ jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾-9¾" tall. xviii, 421pp., (i). Just a hint of a bump to upper corner of back board. Text clean. Binding sound. A tiny area to top-edges of pages where some glue from the binding process spilled over, though this does not effect turning the pages. Light wear to extremities of dust-jacket, with mild wear to remainder of jacket, too. Overall, a nice, clean, sound and attractive copy.
