Octavo dark red full leather binding with 4 raised spine bands and gilt spine borders with gilt titles on green leather label; gilt border to intricately blind tooled boards; brown marbled endpapers and edges to the textblock. Binding solid; lightly rubbed extremities with lightly bumped and worn corners; slight spine fade. Internally exceptionally crisp, clean and bright, with almost no age-toning and very little foxing.
