A scarce dustjacket comes with this copy. It is quite shelf worn but has been supported with Japan paper and archival tape (see pix). The covers are bright, while minimally bumped and rubbed. A small tear at the base of the spine was repaired with book cloth. The textblock edges have foxing (see pic), while the interior is bright and apparently mark/notation free. It is not ex library. Sometime ago it must have laid in something damp as the last 200 pages have some waviness. This is most evident with the very last pages and diminishes while moving toward the front (see USA and Venezuela pix). None of the pages stick together and they remain functional. Three gutters have had acid-free paper laid in as a strengthener (See Venezuela pic). Partial lanyards remain but the bookmarks are gone. #632.
