Early paper bindings of this mid-18th century era are very fragile and were intended to be temporary. Thus they are quite uncommon to survive today.

Book remains well preserved and attractive on the shelf. It displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, the age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
