Book - in Very Good, bright red cloth covered boards with black lettering - light sunning to the spine but the lettering remains bright and distinct, light wear to the extreme corners and extreme ends of the spine. Contents, Clean, bright and tightly bound but with an inexplicable ‘scorch mark to the extreme bottom corner of page 67 through to page 82 [PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RED LINING HIGHLIGHTS THE SCORCHING AND IS NOT PRESENT ON THE PAGES], it is nowhere near the text as can be seen from the scan showing the worst effected page, there is also a tiny chip missing from one corner as you can see in the next scan.
