The book measures 13cm x 19cm.


The are various signs of age, use and wear. The green cloth hardcover is intact and adequately attached to the text block, however is visibly well worn. There is discolouration and fading, corners bumped and edges shelf worn. Spine is particularly faded and discoloured.


Both front and rear inner hinges cracked and weakening but remain holding. Brown end pages faded and worn. Inside front cover has bookseller sticker.


Contents has yellowed with age, a little grubby from handling, some visable foxing. First few pages are mismatched sizes. Text block binding feels loose in parts when handling, particularly the first few pages and last few, though contents are complete and pages remain attached.


Overall the book remains in acceptable reading condition, considering its age. Loosening binding and a worn cover, but a scarce book, of interest to those fond of mythology.
