Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Fair. No Jacket. Internally the book is clean and sound with a gift inscription on the front fly leaf, dated 1939. The blue cloth boards are clean, albeit with a crease down the front board, where it appears to have been bent over a little, and a touch of knocking/fraying to the extremities. The binding feels somewhat loose and there appears to have been an amateurish attempt at strengthening it with selotape to the front and back hinges inside the end papers. Despite this the book is sound and does hold together well enough. Nº de ref. del artículo: 010947
