A Treasury of Russian Literature

The book is in fair condition with notable wear on the spine and cover. The binding is intact, but the cloth cover shows some discoloration and scuffing. The pages are yellowed with age, and there are no inscriptions or library markings. The absence of a dust jacket suggests it has been well-used, but it remains a sturdy copy suitable for reading and study.
