Tight binding in nice condition. Appears to have been rebound around 1900. Has some marks/stains on lower part of back-board. Not in book though. The binding is tight. There is some foxing in book but still very good. Illustrations intact in good condition. Some small discoulrstion on lower part of spine and boards. The errattas has been fixed so this is 2nd or 3rd impression. But first edition of a tale of two cities from 1859 is really hard to find.
