The jacket has a clear protective plastic cover. Pale blue-grey cloth binding, pictorial front board, blue lettering and detail. Some discolouration to spine and edges of boards. A little marking to binding but quite clean and colouring still vivid. Signs of wear, rubbing at edges. Some slackness to binding but book contents reasonably firm. Page edges a little browned and marked but quite clean. A little tanning. Minor foxing to endpapers but otherwise page surfaces very clean, no underlining, marginalia, etc. See pictures for further information.
