Nice condition, cover and spine lettering looks pretty and was protected throughout the years by the dust jacket. Pages not marked or torn. No pen marks or owners marks or library marks. Most of wear is to dust jacket and very front and back endpapers. Foxing especially on front and back endpapers but light foxing here and there in rest of book. Dust jacket is ripped in spots and interior of dust jacket is foxed (a bit shabby). Overall this is a lovely copy of a book that is over 75 years old.
