The spine is faded to a yellowish tone with the title and author lettered in white, along with the publisher's device at the foot; there is some wear and a small loss at the head of the spine. The text block edges show light foxing. Internally, the title page and copyright page are clean, with no printing number line visible. The page edges are evenly toned with age.
