Includes twenty four pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear. Rebound in modern cloth binding. Externally, very smart. There is some slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean with the occasional spot and light age toning.
