The book remains structurally sound and firmly bound, presenting nicely despite notable cosmetic wear to the exterior that prevents a higher grading. The original terracotta cloth boards are rubbed at the extremities, with minor softening and a tiny nick to the cloth at the spine ends. The spine itself is heavily sun-faded, uniformly toned to a tan hue that obscures the original red, though the gilt lettering remains distinctly legible. Internally, the text block is tight and the hinges are completely secure. The pages are largely clean and bright, save for moderate, scattered foxing primarily confined to the text block edges, prelims, and endpapers. Overall, a robust, highly readable copy showing honest wear and sunning commensurate with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"907\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This 1921 George Allen and Unwin publication represents the First UK Edition of Sigmund Freud's \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"1019\"\u003eDelusion and Dream\u003c\/i\u003e.
