In blue cloth-covered boards blind stamped with decorations and titles on front and gilt titles on spine (boards generally worn, a little rubbed and rounded at corners and spine ends, with small abrasion mark on front board). There's a prize presentation plate on tanned endpapers, indicating that the volume was awarded to Fred Sims by Mantle Road School, in April 1927, some faint, scattered spotting on prelims, else internally neat and clean.
