Faint surface marks, scratches, and moderate creasing present along the length of the spine. Boards clean overall, with cover artwork remaining crisp and well-defined. Binding slightly shelf cocked but firm and secure; now protected in a plastic sleeve. Upper edge of text block dust toned, with light handling marks elsewhere though generally clean. Page edges notably well preserved for the book’s age. Internally, pages remain tightly bound, clean, and tidy, appearing little read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"630\" data-end=\"645\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"630\" data-end=\"645\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"647\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eFirst edition, first printing published by Lawrence and Bullen, London, 1896.
