Item is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition.

Binding age worn, small hole along rear joint, tiny chipping at spine head, yet still remains overall attractive as an object.

Text block paper is age toned, moderate to heavy age spotting and foxing, any flaws of a minor type unworthy of specific mention.

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