There are some signs of age, use and wear. The brown leather hardcover has visible surface wear, fading, discolouration. The edges of the boards are worn, in particular top and bottom of the spine. The boards are attached to the text block well, however some partial exterior splitting is visibly noticeable, and can be felt when handling. There is typical age/use related page discolouration/creasing/foxing dotted throughout. However all text is clearly legible, contents text block binding appears strong and complete. There are significant previous owner inscriptions and notes across the first few end papers, ink writing also on the title page amongst the title.

Overall remains in acceptable reading condition, an old edition and collectible edition, with as described clear signs of age, use and wear.
