A fine copy, almost entirely free of the occasional light pinpoint spotting that seems to affect all copies of the edition, in the box the bottom of which shows some shelf wear to the edges at the corners and a damp stain at the upper corner, about 4 inches long, 1/2 inch wide, of this masterpiece of modern fine printing which is far rarer than its limitation would suggest.
