CONDITION: This book is complete and intact, in very good condition as evidenced by the photos. The leather half-bound covers are in good condition with some age expected edge and corner wear. The inside covers are in good condition with no cracking or separation at the hinges, both boards are firmly attached. The only writing I saw was a name neatly written on page one. The pages are in good to very good condition, the pages are very nice. I saw two pages that were torn. Some pages, particularly those opposite illustrations, have some foxing. All pages are tight to the binding. The leather spine is in good condition with some age-expected wear; the lettering is still easily read.

This book comes from a smoke free home.
