Exterior cover shows quite a bit of scuffing and soiling, mainly on the front. Bottom right corner of the cover is absent which continues in to about page 4, to a lesser degree. It appears the book was chewed on by a critter many decades ago. Internal binding is good, no hinge issues. No signatures or bookplates, no library markings, no handwriting found. Pages are toned due to age and there is some scuffing and soiling present. The last end page has a small dampstain in the upper left corner. The book contains numerous foldout maps and charts, all of which are present and in good shape. There is in envelope in the rear the book which contains two large foldout maps. These are in excellent condition look like they were never used.
