Near fine, with light soiling to vellum, light toning to page edges, lacking ties, and some rippling to pages. Overall, a beautiful copy.

In his preface to The Nature of Gothic, Morris writes "To my mind, and I believe to some others, [The Nature of Gothic] is one of the most important things written… Read More
