Main languages: English; the anthology section gives Old English texts without translation.
Overall condition fair: the dustjacket on this copy is rather worn and grubby, quite ragged at its edges; the boards and spine have a little wear at the edges and corners; printed on low-grade paper, so pages very yellowed with age; text appears to be free of marking.
