A First US Edition copy showing splits to cloth at gutters, bumped corners with board showing, darkening to yellow endpapers with a miniscule pastedown of previous owners printed name on ffep. Some play in the whole but still solidly bound, interior intact and while the outer appearance is of a copy with moderate to heavy edge wear, the solidity of the whole belies its appearance! .
