A few corrections or annotations on one page have been Tipp-exed over (obscuring half of a guessable word), but a couple of brief corrections on other pages remain; presumably these were made by Middleton rather than by Lowenstein. That aside, mild signs of wear only, the spine text possibly discoloured (not affecting legibility). Signed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur 009846
