Visually the exterior appearance is more than acceptable for a book of it's age,and even internally,the book is in an acceptable condition/state of ppresentation.It is only the minimal exterior/interior faults described that prevent a higher grading.Despite these,it really is an exceptional copy for completeness,brightness and cleanliness. Butler's 'Erewhon' [pronounced as a word of three syllables,all short - as in E-re-Whon - nowhere in reverse] is one of the more famous utopian/dystopian tales in which a traveller happens upon a strange society and spends the rest of the book observing it.
