-all of my books are VERY OLD and have wear. I try to explain the worse, but I am human and sometimes I do miss a thing or 2.
excellent /near fine -
the text block and boards very secure, minor wear to leather covers and tips, just a few spots inside, no rips that I saw, and just a few wee-tips bent.
A stunning example for any collector!
