Front endpaper missing very grubby and stained title page with a rubber date stamp thereon writing on reverse of same spine coming away from body of book some pages at back heavily stained and other small stains here and there. The cover boards are grubby and worn but the decoration is evident if weak. I think there should be a folding map but this is missing. Very definitely a 'reading only' copy.
