Excellent overall, with gilt decoration, lettering, and black title remaining bright, vibrant, and sharply defined. Binding tight and secure. Upper edge of the text block dust toned, with light foxing across the remaining edges, though page edges remain notably well-preserved for the book’s age. Some foxing has migrated lightly into the margins of a few pages, though contents overall remain clean and tidy throughout.
