Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Octavo; quarter-bound in cloth boards with gilt upper board decoration and spine-title; 448pp., top edge dyed grey, with a monochrome photographic frontispiece, 49pp. of plates likewise, and many line drawings and illustrations. Very slightly rolled; mild offset and spotting to the preliminaries; bottom board corners lightly bumped; slight softening to the spine extremities; text block edges toned. Well-rubbed dustwrapper with tipped-in photographic illustrations chipped at spine panel head but with no loss to title; spine panel sunned and water stained; small chips to the flap turns; now backed by archival-quality white paper and professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film.
