The blue hardcover features decorative black and gold geometric detailing along the spine and front edge, giving it an attractive mid-century academic look. This copy contains extensive handwritten notes, underlining and previous-owner information throughout, including college-related notations inside the front cover. Pages have typical age toning, while the cover shows shelf and edge wear. Please review photos carefully for condition. Best suited as a decorative vintage book, writing-themed display piece, teacher gift or nostalgic reference book rather than a clean collectible copy. The title is a long-running writing and grammar handbook.
