Condition
Dust Jacket: N/A
Green boards/spine, no DJ, as issued. Gilt lettering to spine.
Book: VG-/VG
Very good antique condition overall, light to moderate signs of rubbing/bumping/toning/marking and general storage/handling wear to boards/spine. Text block is age-toned with a few scattered marks but overall in pretty nice shape for a book that's over 100 years old. Internally, Henry Carlile's stamp on ffep (as described above) otherwise pages are moderately age-toned, with a few tiny marks here and there but overall pages are very nice and clean with no extraneous pen/pencil marks and binding is tight. Looks to have been very lightly read.
Please note, I strive to make the descriptions as fair and accurate as possible, but if you are exceptionally fastidious and/or are looking for 'perfect' condition in an item then it's perhaps best not to bid on this auction. That said, I've sold numerous items on Ebay and have always had very happy buyers, so please do bid with confidence!
