One of 4000 copies Binding fault has the rear ednpaper stuck to the rea board.

Wear to extremities of cloth with bumped to corners. Bindings are rolled and loose with all hinges cracked; volume II front hinge completely broken, thus leaving the first half of the sewn signatures separated from the binding. Some minor waviness to the cloth in a couple of instances. Endpapers have some rubbing with brown discoloration. Overall, a very bright copy, despite the issues with the bindings. Sold w.a.f.
