Light wear to boards. Content is clean with light toning. DJ has some toning and a corner missing

Although the boards look somewhat sun faded and edge worn, with a couple of slits to the cloth at the spine hinges and a little knocking to the corners, it is actually a reasonably sound clean copy. Internally the pages are clean throughout albeit a little toned, more especially at the page block edge which also has some mild foxing. There's a neat owner inscription on the front paste down page and a further one of "Miss Blow-Personal Copy" who believe was a ballet tutor as we have several others from her collection on the subject (see other listings.)
