Condition:
[(1), 1ff, h.t., t.p., 1ff., pp.7-1430, (5)]
Original publisher’s full leather fine binding with a lovely blocked design to both boards & spine. Binding in fine condition, very attractive. Top page edge gilt, small spot of loss to top edge, other edges fine. Retains the original page marker. Case internally fine. Some minor handling marks to exterior of case but generally near fine to fine. Separate booklet slightly curved from being stored underneath the book (as often), but this will likely straighten out with time if desired, and already has done quite significantly while in our possession for a few days. A lovely copy of this limited edition.
