Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

Binding complete and intact, retaining half titles. 

Cracked to hinges, bumped to spine, scuffed to front and rear boards, slightly dog eared.

The work starts with a title page and appears to end properly.

See additional images.

Please not however that we have NOT COLLATED this work and do not guarantee that the work is complete.

A fun quirk with this volume is that it bears two bookplates - a Bridehead one on the inside front board as normal but also a Moor Park example upside down on the inside rear board!
