Factors Affecting Value
- Edition & Scarcity: While it is a First English Edition, the book is a translation of a political text that was widely printed at the time, making it culturally interesting but not highly sought-after by high-end investors.
- Condition Deficits: The lack of a dust jacket, heavy foxing on the text block edges, corner crushing, and internal pencil/ink markings keep it firmly in the “Good/Reading Copy” tier, preventing it from reaching premium antiquarian pricing.
