The tattered dustjacket did the job because the actual book is in very good condition. Repairs have been made to the dustjacket so that it functions. It is not pretty. The actual textblock is neat and ordered. It has been handled so there is some light soiling to the textblock edges as well as a light shake to the hinges. There was one pencilled notation under Italy. It has been erased and no others have been seen, but there could be another lurking about. #454.
