Solid and VG in its 1/4 navy-blue cloth over light-blue boards, with a clean, bright title-label to the front panel.

Very light soiling and several minor chips (not affecting the plates) at a few of the lower-edges, tender (but still perfectly sturdy) inner hinges, half-title/frontispiece page loose.
