The binding and hinges are crisp. Unadorned front and back paste downs show some mild foxing at the gutter. No writing or marks. No loose, torn or folded pages. Board corners are crisp, not bumped, perhaps the slightest hint of wear at the very tips. The spine and boards are uniform in color. All text block edges are uniform with some mild tanning. Accompanying paper wrapped, heavy board slipcase is solid, no split seams. Generally free of marks or surface wear. There is a moisture stain at the bottom edge that wraps around to lower edge of both vertical sides, otherwise, quite clean. See accompanying images for full condition details of this wonderfully gorgeous vintage copy of Cyrano. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
