Description:
Chelsea, UK: James Veitch & Sons Limited, 1906. For Private Circulation Only. Hardcover. Fair (As is, please). Very old book. The binding is intact but weak at many spots. Apparently it was attacked by bookworms--few areas inside has sign of burrowing, same is true for hardcover's front side. The front area of the hardcover is at the beginning phase of separation. Please handle with care. Despite imperfections mentioned above, the book is still beautiful. Main binding is intact.
