Inside, the front hinge has been neatly repaired, while the rear hinge has been repaired a little messily so it doesn’t lie flat. The endpapers have a couple small edge chips. All 8 color plates are present and in very good condition. The pages are in generally good condition with occasional finger soiling. The dust jacket has heavy wear, with chipping to spine ends and fold flaps, edge tears, flaps intact, and tape and staining to the rear side as shown.
