Publisher's cloth binding, gilt pictorial spine decorations, gilt title lettering, embossed ruled covers.

Item is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition. Book actually looks nicer in person than it does on the screen, nicer than typical for publishers pictorial gilt spines of this era.

Binding lightly surface soiled, lightly age rubbed, gilt spine remains bright and attractive, cloth well preserved, lacks front free end paper, remains overall very attractive as a book issued during the Civil War.

Text block paper is clean, internally well preserved, little staining or soiling, 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.
