Blemishes to boards from handling and with corners bumped. A few instances of mildly split binding though spine remains fairly straight and binding firm on the whole. Previous owner’s embossed personal library stamp to front endpaper and a few sparse instances of underlining. Otherwise pages appear clean and unmarked. See photos for condition.
