Seller's Description:
Very Good. The dedication page has been signed by Grace Killens, a likely relative of the author's. The wraps are shelf rubbed, edge worn and marked, but remain bright and whole. Internally, there are no other markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are neat, crisp and complete. The binding is secure. JK.
