Text block edges spotted. Spotting on first and last few pages, faint and occasional throughout. Crease in front paste down. We would not usually offer a book in this condition but it is a hard to find title and this copy is perfectly readable or may serve to fill a gap in a collection until a better copy can be sourced.
