288pp, plus blanks at rear and numerous monochrome plate illustrations. In treated cloth-covered boards (rubbed at edges, rounded at corners and spine tips, a little soiled and shelf worn). Internally a hint of page toning and some minor spotting and signs of fingering. Manuscript pencil note on front free endpaper (a recipe?). The first six leaves have tiny puncture marks, as though another piece of paper has been pinned in at some point, else internally neat and tidy. Firmly bound.
