The cream dust jacket which is now protected in a removable, clear cover (not shown) presents well considering its age. It is a little spotted and dust marked with just a touch of toning to the spine minor chipping to the head and foot of the spine to a maximum of 3mm and minimal loss to the fore edge corners. There is a 1.5 cm closed tear at the bottom of the front panel with a touch of associated creasing.
