Clean, straight, unmarked copy -- binding and pages are like new, no significant shelf wear, mild age toning of paper. Dust jacket looks quite presentable, has some wear and rubbing. 

Bound in dark green cloth front and spine, decoratively stamped in gilt. Pictorial endpapers, top edge gilt. Twelve color plates by Arthur Rackham with printed tissue guards, and numerous black and white illustrations. VG+ with some edge wear mostly at top and bottom spine. The substance they used to dye the cloth green with this and other (matching) late Rackham works is very subject to water damage and wear. This copy is in really good shape, considering. Binding is straight, square and crisp. Interior is near mint with no markings except a penciled price on the ffep. (That price is $97.93.) I didn't buy it for that, and I ain't selling it for that price either.

1st Edition hardcover (McGraw-Hill, 1969), the scarce standard reference, correct with no dust jacket, charcoal gray cloth binding with gilt lettering, in the correct but uncommon format of 7 1/4" high by 10" wide.
This copy's binding is solid and undamaged, with clean edges all around and very moderate wear on the corners, but with age more visible in a uniform fading of the gilt lettering. Prior owner's name and contact details are written on free endpaper. Pages are otherwise unmarked, smooth and fresh with mild age toning, and with corners sharp and unfolded. Not a remaindered or ex-library copy.
