Condition: the contents are clean and the binding sound. The lower edge of the last twenty or so pages have suffered a little damp-staining, also affecting the paste-down and rear free end-papers. A thick transparent plastic sleeve has protected the leather boards which are somewhat marked in places as a result of the accumulation of dust underneath the plastic. The front and rear end-papers are also foxed/spotted. Courier cost included in price (South Africa only)
