Condition
This is an ex library book, stamped ‘Dundee Public Library’ in a number of places, including the title page and inside the front cover (see photos). Unusually for a library book, however, the original fold out maps are intact, complete and undamaged. This copy has a slight camber to the spine but it’s otherwise clean, tight and complete. Stamped inside is a signed inscription stating ‘present to Dundee Public Library by Professor J E G Steggall’ (Please see pictures).
