This copy was issued without illustrations. The cloth shows only light edgewear, with no splits or frays. The paper has toned but is not brittle or chipped. Penciled former owner's info to the ffe, otherwise unmarked. Hinges solid. A clean, tight copy. Mattson & Davis 20400, format 5. This cover was first used on the Platt & Peck issues.
