Cover: Full brown leather, some minor shelf-ware to corners and spine tops/bottom. Marbled boards inside and book stamp.
Binding: exceptionally good.
Text: Text is clear, but does have an inscription "Easter 1927, Braida Stanley-Creek" who was an English artist between 1909-1952, her work has been sold at Christies London, which I believe adds extra interest to this particular volume.
