Scattered, rather messy UNDERLINING AND MARGINALIA. Else, Very Good to Very Good+ in Wraps: shows indications of careful use: former owner's name and address at the inside of the front cover; light wear to extremities, with several creases near the lower corner of the front panel; mild rubbing and faint soiling to wrapper covers; a couple of faint stress crease to the backstrip; the binding is square and secure. Clearly, this is a flawed copy, but one that is structurally sound and tightly bound, showing mild wear and minor, unobtrusive flaws. Would make an attractive reading copy.
