About This Item
Cambridge University Press. Used - Very Good. 1991. Hardcover. Cloth, dj. Significant wear to dj, including chips at corners, substantial tear (approx. two-inch) at bottom of rear spine joint, and attendant crumpling to bottom of rear panel. Additional rubbing to dj panels and toning to dj spine. Nonetheless dj spine presents nicely. Slight shelf wear to boards. Expected age-toning and touch of foxing to text block edges, but text remains clean and bright. Former owner's bookplate on front paste down. Internals otherwise clean. Altogether an attractive copy. Very Good. (Subject: Ancient & Classical Studies).
