Condition:
Please zoom in on photos carefully as they are part of the description
-all of my books are VERY OLD and have wear. I try to explain the worse, but I am human and sometimes I do miss a thing or 2.
Covers are in very good shape. Spine edges are curled in and have slight wear. Gilt lettering is a bit faded on the spine. Boards are secure and have sturdy hinges. Pages overall have slight yellowing /toning due to age, but are very clean. Three rips repaired with doc. tape. Other than that the pages are in great condition. Overall book is in amazing condition.
