I purchased this book over the phone. The bookseller told me this copy had been
rebound in gray wraps, but I felt the price was still fair.
When I received the book, I was quite surprised to find that the gray wrap was
really just a folded book cover. Notice the bookplate of E.G. Sykes.
When the cover was removed, it became apparent that it was the original package
wrapping from when E.G. Sykes purchased the book.
