Condition and Description: See pictures. 8vo in publisher's dark green, textured cloth. Hinges and binding sturdy. Very slight spine lean. A touch of foxing on the edges of the textblock; interior clean. No writing or underlining. The original dust jacket is in uncommonly good condition with absolutely no restoration at all.
