Condition: Ex Plimmerton Library book so it has the odd stamp inside, stamps on the inside rear cover and title page. Tear to bottom corner of last page. Light corner watermark on a number of pages towards the rear. Binding at pages 27/28/29 has started to part company from the rest of the book and as a result pages 25/26 and 27/28 are partially loose. See photos.
