Full vellum binding with an ink title to the head of the spine. Binding lightly scuffed with some marks and scratches. Both boards securely attached, hinges reinforced with newer pastedowns. Shelf and edge wear. Blue page edges somewhat dulled, and top edge darkened as often. Bookplates attached to the front pastedown and ffep. First half title attached with wormholes to the hinge, thus somewhat fragile and partially detached at the top. Text block very clean with light toning, and occasional foxing and marks. Very small hole to P3. Very minor repairs to small wormholes to the rear blank. Small wormholing to the first few and last few leaves.
