Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. There is some underlining and notes in the preface; the rest of the text appears unmarked. Pages are bright, though the page edges are age toned and the top edge of the pages is foxed. There is foxing on other parts of the book: on the end pages, on the dust jacket flaps, on the reverse of the dust jacket. Binding is sturdy. Dust jacket is worn around the edges, with many small tears at the top edge.
