The dust jacket of this book has a fair few tears and creases at the edges and a larger tear on the reverse (Please refer to the photos to see.). The price corner has been clipped.  The black hardcover underneath has some discolouration/fading and the spine has a couple of dents. The internal pages are flat and intact although there is toning to the paper due to its age.  There is also a feint inky thumbprint on the first page. This book also has a bit of a 'musty old book' smell which is odd as almost all of the others I have listed don't and they were all on the same bookshelf for the last 50 years, I'm sure this will disappear with a bit of outside reading in the Summer months!  

Please refer to the photographs before buying but please note that my camera tends to lighten everything (very frustrating!) so the pages are not as white at they may appear in the photos above. Thank You.
