This former library copy was dropped at some point. It hit on the top, upper right. This has softened the cover on that corner. Light creases echo through the textblock. Both hinges have been re glued, while the rear has been double reinforced. All of this is visible in the pictures. Otherwise this is a nice book. There are only two library stamps and it appears to be free of notations. The covers and pages are bright with just minor soiling of the textblock edges. #501.
