Measures around 7 3/4" by 5 1/4". No dust jacket. Green coarse cloth binding, embossed edging detail, letting and emblem to front board, lettering to spine. Small signs of scuffing and signs of shelf-wear but generally very good and binding has retained colouring. Slightly bumped corners. Binding firm. Lower page edges deckled, outer edges deckled and cut, a little jagged. Some browning and a little foxing to page edges. Some marking to endpapers but apart from the odd mark the page surfaces are quite clean, no underlining, marginalia, etc. See pictures for further information.
