The wraps are smart to most, with the odd chip and small closed tear and minor creasing to the extremities. Flies South is sound with loss to the head of the spine and a one inch closed tear to the front flyleaf and spotting to the verso and rear. Internally, the frontispiece to Spain is disbound but present. Pages clean and bright.
