Item description from seller

See photos for condition details. Hardcover, maroon cloth boards with gilt text on spine. This is the original 1916 publication and not a modern reprint. Exterior shows some light damp staining along the edges and spine is mildly darkened. Internal binding is good and text pages are tight. No hinge issues, no bookplates, no library markings, no signatures. The only handwriting found in the book is on the rear end page where there is a light "10" with the line above it penciled in the upper corner. The book would normally great as a strong VG to VG+ but the interior pages show some waviness in the upper outside corner quadrant, which is likely also caused by moisture. This does not affect the readability of the book in any way and this issue may be able to be pressed out.
