Condition:
There are a few tiny stains spots at the top edge of the front cover. The red cloth on the spine has faded a bit. There is a "waffle"-type outline where the cloth has faded at the center of the back cover. Tight binding with no loose pages. There is an insignificant crack at the front hinge between the end paper and half title page (despite the crack, the front cover is still firmly attached and is not shaky). Nice interior - the pages are mostly clean with only some finger stains on the outer margins of pages 20 & 21, and a few random light smudges found. There is a neatly written name/address/quotation/date (1905) in pen on the back of the frontispiece. Initials have been written in red ink on the title page. Overall the book is in Very Good condition.
