Condition:
Clean covers and spine; bright gilt lettering and decorations on the spine; sharp corners. There is an insignificant crack at the front hinge between the end paper and title page (despite the crack, the front cover is still firmly attached and is not shaky).

Overall the book is in Very Good condition.
