A very good taupe/olive cloth hardback with gilt title to spine. In good dustjacket which is intact, with signs of wear and a little age discoloured to extremities.

The text is very good throughout - bright, clean and soundly bound. Mild age toning to edges of endpapers and dust toned top edge, but a very nice and usable copy. Illustrated. Soundly bound. Some offsetting to first few pages from review inserts.

Text is otherwise bright and clean throughout. Slightly open at tail end of gutter just before final coloured endpaper, but just a minor flaw.

Text in English.
