When a Good Book Described by the Seller as Poor, Turns Out To Be Quite Good!

My copy of this "in poor condition suitable as reading copy only" has arrived. The title is The Enclosed Garden. The Tradition and the Image in Seventeenth Century Poetry, Stanley Stewart. 

There should be a sub-category of 'well-used but clean' used by booksellers. I've had books described as good in poorer condition than this.

The bonus for me is that it has a full borrowing history on the three labels still attached, from acquisition1967-withdrawal in 2006.

There are 62 date stamps and the librarians pen mark each year during the annual stock check.

I was 16 when it was first borrowed!
