CONDITION
A good copy. The binding is good with just a couple of light marks to the boards (see pictures). All contents present and pages good throughout with just a tad spotting to the title page and following two pages but all others nice and clean. All colour plates present and in lovely clean condition. Presentation slip pasted to inside front board and dated for the year 1915. Overall a good copy of this collectable title.
