Poor (Book- the original leather spine has been replaced at some time and a printed paper label applied probably subsequent to the re backing. There is shelf wear and soiling to the boards.The book plate as above pre dates the publication of the book and was clearly applied by a previous owner because of it's association. The paper of the book block is significantly tanned with heavy foxing to prelims and last few signatures which detracts and it is for this reason the book is graded as poor).
