A 1953 hardback in good condition. The gilt has started to fade on the front and a little more so on the spine. The spine and boards are in good condition, with just a couple of feint marks on the rear. Both hinges are very strong. Internally the pages are clean and in very good condition. With brighter gilt this would be an 8 at least. More photos can be provided on request. Postage is for UK, please ask about costs for overseas.
