Measures around 7 3/4" by 5 1/4". No dust jacket. Green coarse cloth binding, embossed edging detail, letting and emblem to front board, lettering to spine. Small signs of scuffing and signs of shelf-wear but generally very good and binding has retained colouring. Slightly bumped corners. Binding firm.

Some marking to endpapers but apart from the odd mark the page surfaces are quite clean, no underlining, marginalia, etc. See pictures for further information.
