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

Because this type of binding is so inherently susceptible to wear and damage, examples which survive in bright mostly clean shape like this one are a small minority. Nicer than typical despite the edge wear and minor cover surface scratches, etc.

Binding gently age worn, mostly light or inoffensive signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, book remains overall attractive as an object.

Paper is gently toned, still clean, tight, sound internally.

Still attractive on the shelf. The book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail showing how this book survives. The asking price reflects the condition based on our examination and 35+ years full time exposure to antiquarian books, maps and printed ephemera of all types and genres. Flaws seen and/ or described have been taken into account.
