In good- slipcase, with widespread edge-wear and corner wear; some peeling and partial loss of paper from outermost part of bottom edge; and some superficial creasing and slight staining. The illustration and gilt titling to the slipcase front board are still intact, but because of the edge-wear, the slipcase is no longer very good-looking. Mid-brown endpapers intact, with former owner’s name stamp to ffep. Slight liquid staining to part of upper margins of title page and its facing page, far from print. This continues to a lesser degree on the next few leaves as far as p. 11. No previous-owner markings or other significant faults found.
