Cloth-covered boards display scattered marks and age-related staining, though remain structurally sound overall. Text block shows dust marking and age-toning consistent with the book’s age, though the moiré patterning to the page edges remains visible and reasonably well-preserved. Moiré pastedowns and endpapers remain particularly attractive and well-kept. Binding firm and secure. Internally, moderate foxing present throughout, though contents remain clean overall and tightly bound. Illustrations clean and well-preserved throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"727\" data-end=\"742\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"727\" data-end=\"742\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"744\" data-end=\"1129\"\u003eDicks Tales Edition published by John Dicks, London, undated.
