Octavo/8vo, measures around 7" by 4 5/8" by 1". No dust jacket. Black cloth binding, gilt lettering to spine. Some marking and scuffing to binding. Signs of wear, rubbing on hinges and at edges, particularly at head and tail of spine and at corners, which are a little bumped. Some slackness and a little strain to binding but contents reasonably firm. Page edges browned, scuffed and a bit marked. Leaves have been opened quite neatly but there is the odd jagged page edge. A little light foxing to endpapers, the odd mark to page surfaces but generally clean, some penned notes on blank pages at rear of book but otherwise there does not appear to be any marginalia, underlining, etc. See pictures for further information.
