Condition: Good Hardback. This is an ex-library book which has some rubbing around the cover edges, mainly at the top and base of the spine. There's a small label on the spine and further labels on the inside front cover, and on a front end paper and small circular stamps on a front end paper, and about six more scattered throughout the book.These small stamps do no affect the photos or the text. The binding is good, the text is clear and there is very mild tanning throughout. Not too bad a condition for a book that has been in a public library for over a century.
