Condition Report
There is extensive marginalia throughout, with notes written by a previous owner on multiple pages. Ordinarily we’d consider this to be a negative factor, but in this case we feel it adds to the value or antiquity of the title, with the only exception being a blue line drawn across one page (though the text remains visible). The book contains various ephemera, such as old flyers and notes with diagrams, left behind by the previous owner. An inscription is present on the front free endpaper (FFEP). The boards are in good condition, except for a small tear, approximately two centimetres, to the cloth at the bottom of the spine.
