Rear cover with U-shaped surface tear - sides of length 1.5cm just under 1cm apart - within which cloth loose, a little frayed at edges and a little crumpled, and extending from which a pronounced indentation above of length 1.5cm and width up to 0.5cm and lightish scratchmark below of length 3cm. Pronounced scratchmark of length 4cm elsewheres on rear cover, as well as two light scratchmarks. No dust jacket. Half-title, title-page and final leaf faintly & sparsely spotted towards outer edges. Top edge of text-block age-toned & dust-marked, other edges a little toned and lightly & sparsely spotted. Binding holding firmly; contents generally clean, tight and very good. Reasonably GOOD copy.
