Publisher's pictorial cardstock wrappers.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Book is not new or in "new" condition.

Book textblock has a small old damp stain / nibble spot along the fore edge near the top of the page. In most ways I find it easy to overlook or forgive it, it's relatively minor overall, but should be mentioned for clarity. Book is scarce enough to warrant being sold as it survives like this.

Binding age worn, mostly light or inoffensive signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, book remains overall attractive as an object.

Paper is gently toned, still clean, tight, sound internally.

Still attractive on the shelf. The book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail showing how this book survives. The asking price reflects the condition based on our examination and 35+ years full time exposure to antiquarian books, maps and printed ephemera of all types and genres. Flaws seen and/ or described have been taken into account.
