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

Binding age worn, spine ends worn with small tear near top front joint, book contents slightly shaken, 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, final blank leaf has a long cut in it, lacks blank end paper.
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.
