Once this treasured tome from Tanjecterly has arrived at your stately manse of Trilda, you'll retire to the parlor and a light repast of wine and cheese, melon and water fowl, before focusing your attention on its many and varied excellences, composed, as it is, of sandestin stuff - hopefully Grofinet won't choose this moment for a spontaneous lecture on the Egyptian pyramids! NOTE: VERY light evidence of edgewear and age-toning, and the faintest start of some foxing.
