Descripción

This copy is part of a limited printing of 500 copies in this edition. In cloth binding with gilt detailing. Externally smart. Very minor wear to extremities and joints only. Internally, generally firmly bound, strained in places. Pages bright and clean throughout with the odd spot to the first and last few pages, and the occasional page. Near Fine.
