Brief red-inked signature of unclear significance to ffep, in an old style of handwriting that may be that of the author. Small printed address label of former owner adhered to ffep. As on all copies, slight rippling to lower part of title leaf caused by glue used by publisher to paste down address label (to one side) and copyright notice (to other). Separation to lowest 2 inches of inner paper hinge after copyright page. Bottom cm or so of inner paper hinges between many pages also split. Red-pencilled underlining and marginal marks, together with blue-inked marginal bracket, to p. 6. Red-pencilled marginal bracket and symbols to p. 11.

Blue-inked calculation to rear paste-down, together with adhered small piece of white paper on which four lines from a computer program are printed.
