Condition
Book in very good condition overall. Blue cloth boards remain sound and presentable, with light bumping and rubbing to corners, spine ends and edges, and some marking and age-related wear to the cloth. Contents are generally clean and well preserved, with light to moderate foxing, most noticeably to the page edges and some end sections. Multiple fold-out maps and sketches are present at the rear. There are institutional ownership stamps to the front matter and some age-related marking internally, but the text block remains solid and the book is a sound, serviceable copy overall.
