Condition:
Light soiling/staining to the covers; there is a 1" x 1/2" patch at the right edge of the front cover where the top layer has peeled away. The corners are worn and there is edge wear along the edges of the boards. Cracks at the hinges resulting in the covers being just a bit shaky. The text pages are in very good condition with only an occasional light smudge found. The primary condition issue with the interior is that there are tears to the floral end papers. Overall the book is in Good- condition.
