Description:
Cambridge University Press, 2015. First Edition. Paperback. Like New. In nearly new condition: bright, crisp and clean with no creases, strong joints and sharp corners. Looks and feels unread. Just a small publisher 'damaged' stamp at the prelims. Nonetheless not showing any defects. Thus a very nice copy, firm, square and tight, now offered for sale at a very reasonable price.
