Front end-papers have several marks and slight dustiness, paste-down has long but very thin incipient vertical crack and small ex libris label 'Praedicatorium Novicastri' and facing end-paper has round purple stamp of Hawkesyard Priory Library to top, this was a Dominican Priory in Staffordshire which opened in 1898 and closed in 1988, both these have a few small lib. numbers. Other minor faults visible on images. Weighs 2.3 kg so additional postage will be required for non-UK sales. 20 cmx 31 cm
