A near fine book with bright clean boards and only a hint of rubbing to the corners. Internally, the book is without names inscriptions or bookplates and only a small book seller's ticket on the front paste down. The dust jacket is in very good condition considering its age with one 6cm closed tear extending from the top of the spine around onto the front board and a smaller one of under 1cm to the top edge of the rear panel.
