The binding remains remarkably tight and square, with the dark green quarter cloth spine showing no significant signs of rubbing or shelf-wear at the head or tail. The patterned paper sides are crisp, bright, and completely free from rubbing or edge-wear. Internally, the Magnani mould-made paper is pristine, immaculately clean, bright, and entirely free of foxing, offsetting, or previous ownership inscriptions. The book is protected by a clear acetate wrapper, which exhibits only the faintest surface scuffing in the light but no chips or tears, fully justifying the high grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e First Folio Society Edition.
