Externally well-preserved from being covered in a makeshift dustjacket which darkened the endpapers but kept the covers in very good condition with only light edge rubbing and a small chip to the front joint. The hinges are internally lightly cracked but secure, minor chipping at the lower edge of the rear hinge with accompanying tiny chips to the final few pages, not affecting text. Text block sound, pages clean with a small transparent spot to the upper margins of last few pages, no names or other markings.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
