In the original publisher's cloth binding and unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, very smart. To the dust wrapper, there is some wear to the extremities resulting in a few small tears, some light age toning and light spotting. To the binding, there is some minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. The hinges are slightly strained but firm. Internally, firmly bound.
