This ex-library copy of the first edition would benefit from rebinding as the mustard cloth-boards are rubbed and bumped, while the spine has been strengthened with clear archival tape. The binding has loosened and the once-gilt top edge has dulled to a dark blue-black.
The contents, however, remain in near very good condition, despite the library spine label, stamps on the title-page and elsewhere, and sticker and pocket at the back. The plain endpapers are otherwise unmarked and sound, and the xi + 337 pp of b/w illustrated text and index and colour frontispiece, all on art paper, are unmarked and and bright.
Featuring, as it does, well over two hundred maps, Skelton's book offers many days' feasts for the armchair explorer.
