Creasing and edgewear along the jacket's edges, with pieces missing from the head and tail of the spine. Toning to the jacket's spine and back panel. Inscription from Will James on ffep. Overall, a very good and inscribed copy. A personable and warm inscription to "Bill", with James signing off as "Bill James".
