A small patch of fading to the head of the spine were the jacket is chipped; an about fine copy in dust-jacket (by Vanessa Bell) whose spine is mildly sunned and has a few light stains; the spine of the jacket is chipped at its head, with loss of half of the letter 'A' in the title, and also at the foot but without impinging on the print there; there are neat repairs to the blind side; otherwise the jacket is very good.
