Good+: Shows moderate use: a small patch of fairly heavy scuffing at the bottom of the front panel and a much milder scuff at the bottom of the rear panel as well. Else, light wear to the extremities; the binding shows slight lean; mild overall rubbing to the panels; some rubbing to the gilt titles at the backstrip has dulled them somewhat, but they remain legible; faint tanning to the text pages. The binding remains secure; the text is clean. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo.
