Book is in Good condition with some soiling to covers, a slight split on the top rear hinge and a bump on the top corner. This has caused the top corner to crease tearing the cloth cover. The corner bump extends through the book but does not affect the pages and plates seriously. Binding is tight and pages and plates are in good condition with minmal marking and toning. A piece of theatre history, great for Theatre Historians, Enthusiasts, Designers, Art Lovers and anyone who loves rare and wonderful things. - A very scarce book.
