Soft cover. Fair/Not relevant. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1978 reprint; large 8vo, 150 x 235mm; pp x, 625; green, orange and black card covers. ... ... ... ... ... The book is in a mix of good and poor condition. It's clean and complete and has the merit of offering a wide and well-balanced range of Marx's writings and selections from them.It beings with the early writings from 1837 onward until the letters of 1881. Unfortunately, though, it's bound as a collection of signatures glued together and the glue has failed in a few places. This has left a couple of sections with three oir four loose leaves and one or two others where such will surely follow. There are also a few paragraphs with underlining - all in pencil as far as I can see and there possibly illumination but in any case capable of being rubbed out if necessary. It's for this reason that the price has been put at the bargain price noted as I'd rather someone buy it than throw it in the bin.
