Please see photos for condition details. Hardcover, red decorated boards shows spotting and soiling along with edge and corner bumps/light wear. The internal binding is good except for the hinge at the front board which has a thin crack. The pages are darkened due to age and poor quality of paper used which is likely why the hinge cracked at the front board. There are no signatures or bookplates, no library markings, no handwriting etc. The front pastedown does have the original store stationary stamp in the lower right, which is the only thing not originally printed with the book. There is a slight binding flaw which starts at page 117 whereas the quadrants of pages extend out a bit on the book exterior.
