Colloquial Hindustani

This 1955 third impression of "Colloquial Hindustani" is in fair condition, with notable wear on the dust jacket, including edge tears and a library sticker. The binding remains intact, and the pages are clean, though they exhibit typical age-related toning. As an ex-library copy, it may contain standard library markings, but these do not detract from the book's usability.
