Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Book is not new or in "new" condition.
Binding gently age worn, spine cloth darkened and spotted, boards rubbed and worn (particularly along the edges), remains overall attractive as an object.
Text block paper is gently toned, internally still clean, well preserved, tight, sound. Numerous pages throughout are still "unopened" at the top as issued.
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.
