Seller's Description:
Very Good. This appears to be the 1921 copyright Harper & Brothers edition. The dark blue dustcover has the title in blue and white, the 2 M's are in red. The dustcover has numerous small tears along the edges, most repaired a long time ago with sellotape, one long tear down the front leading edge. The red hardcover boards are still flat, minor edge wear, corners still sharp. Spine is softened at edges, no tears or fraying. Black title on spine and front still very good. Hinges and gutters still really good. Pages are slightly yellowed towards the ends, there's a small bookplate on the pre-title page, otherwise unmarked or folded.
