Generally bright, solid and clean but has been handled over the years. The front cover book cloth was just relaid. The covers are minimally bumped and shelf worn but do have some blotching and wear (see pics). The book has a slight lean to the right when laid flat. Interior reinforcement work has been done fairly recently (see pics). The textblock is bright, ordered and apparently unmarked. The top of the last pages of the War Loss Section had some moisture event which caused minor damage. The pic of page 636 shows the worst of it. Overall a nice copy. This is the British edition.  #303.  Click on "Warship Observer" above for 100+ listings of JFS.
