Bound in 1/2 red leather with marbled boards and endsheets. Gilt head edge. Gilt decoration to spine, but much of backstrip is peeled away, so missing most of lettering. Leather of boards shows moderate wear; rear board is loose with gauze exposed. Textblock is tight and square with clean, crisp pages. Portrait frontispiece of Dickens protected by tissue guard. Ink inscription to flyleaf - else no other writing or markings. An attractive copy despite defects. Full refund if not satisfied.
