WRAPPER : The period wrapper on this copy is bright, complete and clean. It is unclipped. It shows light wear to each of the corners and rubbing to the spine creases. The spine ends are rubbed and gently nicked. The spine panel is unfaded. Looks sharp.
BOOK : The book is square and tight. The boards are sound - they are faded at the edges. The spine is toned. The corners are sharp. The pages are clean. No foxing. The closed page edges are unmarked. The binding is solid - no cracked hinges. There are no previous ownership inscriptions - Roy Strong's bookplate is on the front pastedown. A nice copy of an increasingly uncommon book.
