Binding moderately age worn, small rear joint scuff abrasion, various signs of handling and interesting inoffensive old repairs along rear joint, front hinge cracked, but nothing offensive or severe, remains overall attractive as an object.

Paper is gently toned, internally still well preserved, tight, sound. Interesting early 

Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
