Condition Notes
This beautiful book is still in fine condition and tightly bound.
The Red cover boards do have some fading and rubbing as well as some corner bumps but are still very attractive with gilt image of fox with cubs on the front board and gilt spine titles.
The inside pages remain bright and clean with usual tanning for a book of this age and with some random small spotting throughout. The attractiveness of the book is enhanced by Gilt page edging along the top.
Previous owner name in pen written on inside front end paper.
