Condition Report
| Cover | Royal blue cloth covered hardback with elaborate gold decoration and title original both the front board and the spine that still remains very sound with this large text-block. the tiniest scuffing of corners and spine edges is the only minor fault with no dust wrapper as issued in a blue slip-case in fine condition. |
| Overall | Printed on Supreme white book Wove paper, it is devoid of any foxing original damage and the Rackham illustrations are both in black and white throughout text as well as with an additional forty coloured full page illustrations on special glossy art paper . so it is certainly in a very fine state overall also with charming unadorned Rackham illustrated endpapers. |
