Condition: Near Fine
Description: Dustwrapper, pp.313. Dustwrapper clean and sound with light wear and two small closed splits to head of spine, very slight wear to foot. Cloth and contents clean and crisp, but there is what appears to be a minor production fault to the upper corners of the text from about p.90 onwards where there is a diagonal " bleached " narrow band across just below the corner, with the slightest of creasing. A minor fault and one that I cannot see how it arose other than in production. Overall a nice clean copy with slight wear to dustwrapper spine.
