Bound handsomely in the publisher's original Royal blue cloth, decorated in gilt to front cover and lettered to spine. Only the mildest of rubbing to extremities, virtually gift-quality condition. Housed in a battered, edge-split gold paper-covered slipcase but that has done its job. 42 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
