There is a small bookplate of a previous private owner on the pastedown. There is relatively minor wear at the spine tips and a small spot of wear near the bottom of the spine. The front endpaper has a tear approximately 1 1/2" at the top. The binding is tight and sound, with a square text block. Overall a very good copy of a book seldom found in condition.
