The publisher's original pictorial card wrappers remain bright and structurally sound, exhibiting only minor shelf-wear to the extremities and a gentle outward curl to the upper fore-edge corner of the front panel. The spine remains entirely uncreased, suggesting the volume has seen little, if any, reading. The binding is remarkably tight and square throughout. Internally, the text block is clean, crisp, and completely free of foxing or spotting, with only the very slightest hint of age-toning to the extreme page edges. A highly presentable, firmly bound copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: First edition, softcover issue.
