The original blue cloth boards remain clean and unfaded, retaining a firm structure and sharp corners, with only a superficial scratch to the rear panel and minor pushing to the spine ends. The spine itself is bright, featuring unoxidised silver tooling and crisp lettering against a pale blue background. The binding is remarkably tight and square, showing no signs of shelf-leaning. Internally, the text block is exceptionally crisp and bright, free from foxing or heavy spotting, with only mild, expected age-toning to the page edges.
