With the folding map of the European railways (map with some repaired tears; leaf 1.7 [not Dostoevsky] repaired in the margins; occasional light marginal soiling or wear; occasional mainly marginal dampstain). Contemporary Russian burgundy quarter leather with red spot marbled boards, flat spine lettered and ruled in gilt (extremities rubbed). Provenance: 'F.B.N.G.' (Cyrillic initials at the foot of the spine; manuscript shelf-mark on the title).
