1899. New Edition. 468 pages. No dust jacket. Green cloth with gilt lettering. Rough-cut pages with expected creasing and chipping. Minor black ink to fore edge. Moderate cracking and creasing to gutters and hinges, exposing netting and causing some looseness to binding but pages remain attached. Light thumb marking, foxing and noticeable tanning to pages. More prominent to text block edges, pastedowns and free endpapers. Book is noticeably bowed and forward leaning with visible tanning, staining and scuffing overall. Spine has heavier tanning with soft crushing to ends. Lettering remains bright and clear.
