This antiquarian book is acceptable condition. Ex-library copy, it has all of the hallmarks of its library past: call letters inscribed inside, and on the spine, slip pocket for checkout card (with the card intact), etc. The cloth boards show wear and age. No dust jacket. It appears at one point glue or some similar substance was brushed over the spine. It is still a pretty little book and a great bit of literary history.
