Brown cloth cover. 1st f/piece w.tissue-guard facing ecto rear of 2nd f/piece w. tissue guard, decorated t.p. headed [For Private Circulation Only.] +vi (inc.t.p.etc)+183+7 blank f., cartoon and illustrations throughout of many different kinds, occ. full page, marbled endpaper…s; generally clean, tight and unmarked internally but some awkwardness with binding from front endpaper to 1st f/piece & tissue guard has caused slight splits to ends of gutter verso front endpaper and after 1st f/piece, have closed these with tear repair tape but because of misaligned adhesion doing this required a straightening which then, woe is me, caused front end-gutter to split, tried fixing this with transparent tear repair top but this now unsightly as transparency not not quite clear enough to prevent visibility against marbled background. End of essay. Covers generally clean with only slight corner bumping but spine ends both horizontally chipped at textblock level. An odd humorous exercise in esoteric Stock Exchange in-joking, probably incomprehensible to even the most veteran of today's stock-brokers, but occasionally amusing nonetheless. Geo.Cruikshank, F.C.Gould, Lucien Davis etc. (illustrator).
