Later binding, three quarters morocco with corners and cloth over boards; all edges gilt; marbled endpapers; recently rebacked in matching maroon morocco with leather spine labels and new cloth hinges; bottom corner of the front free endpaper is chipped; engraved title has a circular gold debossed sticker of Omega within a pyramid; few preliminary leaves have very short closed tear to the bottom of the leaf in the gutter; a few minor chipped leaves along the bottom edge have been discreetly mended; occasional foxing and smudging to a few leaves; small pencil numbering to each leaf--non-obtrusive and erasable.
