Please review condition report carefully:  The book is in nice condition.  Pages bright and clean, with some dampstaining to edges of first and last pages and pastedowns (toning to pastedowns).  Charming inscription on f.f.e.  Binding solid. Dampstaining to top edges of boards, otherwise boards have light wear (see picture).
