Slightly rubbed to extremities, but generally externally very good. Internally the text is lightly browned throughout, some light foxing, staining, and offsetting, once or twice heavier, especially to the sectional title printed on thicker paper. Small chip to the top margin of A3, old stain from silk marker (no longer present) to 2I1v and 2I2r. Former owner’s name to ffep, small pen mark to title. Without pages 435-436, but the signatures are correct, so this is presumably a mistake in pagination
