BOOK : The book is square and very tight. The boards are clean and bright. The corners are sharp. The pages are clean. No foxing. The closed page edges are a little dulled. The binding is solid and without cracked hinges. There are no loose or dog-eared pages. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. A very attractive copy in a protected wrapper.
