Only three copies in OCLC (the World Catalogue), two at University of California and the other at Seattle Art Museum. There is an unfortunate dent on the top edge of the front cover about 5 cm long by 3 mm deep and some damage to the brocade at the top of the backstrip. Covers faded with light soil. Corners worn. Endpapers lightly browned and minimal foxing on front edge, but nothing significant internally.
