Charles. Victim or Villlain? By Penny Junor. Published by HarperCollins, 1998.

Hardcover with jacket, 304pp. First Edition, first printing.

Jacket condition: Clean and bright, with very, very light rubbing and some foxing to upper and lower edges. Light creasing to top edge around the hinge on the rear panel. Some light, superficial scratches/shelf-rubbing to rear panel. Inside of jacket foxed and age-toned, with previous owner name stamp on rear flap.

Book condition: The inside of the jacket have left some faint white imprints on the boards, which otherwise are crisp and clean. Light bump to top corner of front panel--not rubbed or frayed. Otherwise no edgewear. Edges of text block clean--not foxed or stained. Three minute stains, a couple of isolated, faint spots of foxing, and previous owner's name stamp on front endpapers. Previous owner name stamp on rear pastedown. Mild foxing, with heavier age-toning in the prelims. Substantial, persistent foxing and age-toning throughout the text block (These are yellowish brown smudges, and tanning of the pages, not the speck-like type of foxing). These defects aside, the text block is clean: no other stains, no inscriptions, no underlining or highlighting, no annotations or marginalia. The two sets of photographic plates are clean and bright--no foxing; not stained or faded. The front free endpaper and half-title have separated from the text block ever so slightly--they are not loose, however, and the binding of the text-block itself is intact; text and the sets of colour plates are complete: no loose, missing, or torn pages.
