Slightly worn corners, top of the spine shows wear, interior yellowed by time, bottom half of the spine restored. The gilded covers remain stunningly beautiful even though a piercing eye might notice some rubbing here and there. A beautiful copy which will certainly ignite curiosity if well-placed in your library!
