Item description from seller

See photos for condition details. Hardcover, brick red cloth boards show scuffing and soiling along with edge and corner bumps/wear. There are some light spots on the bottom quadrant of the front board along with additional spotting on the rear board. The internal binding is good, no hinge issues. There are no signatures or bookplates, no library markings etc. Pages are mildly toned, mainly along the edges, and smudge marks and foxing is present. The worst appears to be the end pages and pastedowns.
