About This Item
First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. There are some loose map plates inside. The boards are rubbed and edge worn, particularly at the top and bottom edges of the spine, where they are beginning to fray slightly. The gold gilt of the spine and front board has dulled. Internally, the front end page has been signed by a previous owner in black ink, and there are annotation markings and underlining throughout the text. The edges of the pages are slightly tanned. There are no other issues within, and the pages are crisp and complete. The binding is tight and firm. JV.K.. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
