Minor foxing of endpapers, a 1" long adhesive remnant in gutter of front endpaper where owner's name tag had been attached, tiny spots of foxing on top edge of pages and larger ones on fore edge of pages (the text pages themselves are quite clean and absent of foxing). The dust jacket is price-clipped, has a line of rubbing at top of front panel, have two places along the top edge which have been reinforced by clear tape, and is generally a bit grubby from use. Author followed the routes of the three journeys which Don Quixote made three and a half centuries ago. 256 pages.. First Edition. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Very Good/Very Good.
