Occasional ink or pencil numbers in top margins but mostly unmarked. P.19 of Symphonia V is blank but cannot tell if this is an omision or intentional (please see photos including the following spread). Foxing throughout, occasionally heavy. Creases to free endpapers. Covers rather worn (please see photos) but binding still nice and firm. A VERY GOOD COPY.
