Hardcover. Zustand: Good. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, dark yellow cloth boards with black text and logo on spine. Exterior shows soiling and spotting along with minor corner bumping. The internal binding has some issues though for the most part the text pages are tight. The rear hinge shows a very thin crack, front hinge is good, title page is starting to separate in the top half is loose. Pages are toned due to age and some foxing is present, with the worst being around the frontispiece due to the reaction of two different kinds of paper. No signatures or bookplates, no library markings.
