Description:
Cambridge University Press, 1997. Reprint. Hardcover. Like New/Like New. 7x1x9. A firm and square hardback with sharp corners and strong joints, complete with original dustjacket, just showing a few very minor rubs. Hence a non-text page has a small 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book is actually in nearly new condition. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and tight. Also, no pen-marks and not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Now offered for sale at a very sensible price.
