Condition Report

Cover Hardcover in brilliant Royal blue paper covered boards with light blue, yellow and black decoration and gilt titles original front and the slightly soft yet sound spine that is light exposure darkened, plus the beautiful coloured endpapers are unmarked still.
Overall The only detractors are the acceptable level of foxing on all edges and throughout as well and there is hinge cracking in one place before the half- title page also. in addition there is a neat pen dedication from Xmas 1907 on a pre-title page. Roughcut fore-edge too.
