London: John Murray, 1896. Hardbound. Bound in very faded greenish blue cloth with red & gilt Tomoe-ko mark on the front board. 346 pp. with two folding maps at rear, as well as. Good-, a very presentable reading copy see further description of condition. Perforation stamps through many if not all plates, cardpocket on rear free endpaper. Item #133883
This particular copy is exlibrary. There is a blind stamp on the title-page and there are perforation stamps through both the maps at the rear. The first map (of the Alps) has a tear and a split on minor consequence through one of the folds. The cover corners are sharp, but the outer hinges are splitting and weak, and there is some loss at the top left of the spine. This copy will never win a beauty contest, but it is a complete copy of this rare book.
