About This Item
The First UK printing published by Humphrey Milford (Oxford University Press) in 1931. The BOOK is in Very Good+ condition. Original publisher's pictorial paper-covered. boards with cloth spine. Illustrated throughout in black and white illustration (some full page). Some rubbing to the corners, a touch of loss in a couple of places to the edges of the cloth spine and a few very minor marks to the back board. Interior contents have light spotting to the text block, prelims and page edges in places. The binding remains tight. Free from inscriptions. A very nice copy of an increasingly uncommon book. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
