Fairly square and tight spine with shelf wear to tips and bottom.Water stains to top and bottoms text blocks. Internally free of markings except for neat previous owner's signature on front free endpaper. Front fly leaf has previous owner's embossement stamp. Rear endpaper has slight water stain down edge. Crumple at top and bottom of the first few pages now smoothed out. Still, a nice copy for a true sixth printing of the first edition. Otherwise no internal marks - a nice copy.
