A touch of softness to the spine ends but quite minor. very well-preserved. Very attractive unclipped original publisher's dust-jacket, ($2.00 on top of front flap), has tiny chips to the spine ends and tips. 2" split from the bottom of the front fold but actually quite unobtrusive. Light soiling to rear panel. Still fresh and bright and quite scarce in any condition. A very pretty collectable copy and tough to find, particularly in such nice condition.
