About This Item
Secker and Warburg. Used - Very Good. Cloth, no dj. Secker and Warburg, London, second edition, 1950. Moderate sunning to spine and edges of boards, but spine titles remain bright. Small stray ink mark (approx. one-inch) on spine and some wear to spine ends. Touch of bumping to corners. Former owner's signature on ffep. Expected age-toning to text block, but text and images remain clean and bright. Slight hints of chipping to several pages at fore edges. Altogether quite sound. Very Good.
