Overall condition poor to fair: the dustjacket on this copy is is completely disintegrated, but retained here for the sake of completeness; boards rather worn, and particularly frayed along the lower edges; page edges dusty and foxed, with some occasional spots internally; previous owner’s inscription on the front endpaper, but the main text appears to be free of marking. A good reading copy, as the cliché used to have it.
