The Boston Glee Book; Consisting of an Extensive Collection of Glees, Madrigals and Rounds

The book's spine has significant rubbing along with peeling at the hinges. It also has a quarter inch chip out of the bottom of the spine, along with one at the top that grows from less than a centimeter to a quarter inch, leaving the binding exposed. The covers have cracked completely on both sides but is still attached. They also suffer from minor rubbing, toning and moderate smudging. The edges have moderate to significant shelving wear to the edges and corners. The corners also suffer from moderate bumping with moderate bowing. There is foxing to the pages that have yellowed over time. Other than the items listed this is a fair copy that is an interesting piece of preserved history. The pages are clear of writing, allowing the sheet music to be easily read.
