Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. The boards are ever so slightly edge worn, but remain strong and sturdy, with bright gold gilt to the front and spine. Internally, there is very light tanning throughout, but there are no other markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are crisp, clean and complete. The binding is secure. JK.
