Ninth Edition. Superb full calf binding, undoubtedly by the Guild of Women Binders, and having come from a collection of books bound by the Guild, though unsigned as often found with Guild binders.

Very attractive spine with lengthwise long stem design and innovative lettering, gilt designs on dentelles. Unobtrusive and fait water marks present, though not detracting.
