The contents, with the bookplate of [Henry Winston] Peregrine Spencer-Churchill's (Nephew of Winston S. Churchill) to the front pastedown and some very light spotting to the prelims, are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the original dustwrapper which has light chipping to the spine tips, toning to the spine and flap folds, some short closed tears to the edges and a larger closed tear to the head of the spine, with a few pieces of tape to the underside.
