Name on first blank, small chip to rear free endpaper, covers in very good to near fine condition with only few tiny areas of boards exposed. The maps & plans, all of which have been accounted for, are altogether near fine with only a few showing marginal foxing -- with the exception of the large U.S. map at rear which has been pasted down along its left side, evidently to stop a longish tear there, and is showing a few splits and tears at folds. Still, scarce in this overall nice condition.
