About this Item

See photos for condition details. Hardcover, brown cloth boards with gilt text on spine. Book is in very poor shape but is still in one piece. Exterior is heavily worn along the edges with cloth peeling and under board exposed. Lower outside corner of textblock has been nibbled on by critters. The damage is well outside of any text so book is very readable. Hinges at both boards are cracked the front board hinge being the worst looking. First two end pages also has damage along the bottom edge. Binding of the text pages themselves is overall good it's just that the hinges the boards are pretty ugly. Pages are tone due to age smudge marks and scattered foxing is present. There are some areas where the upper outside corners were folded in, these have been straightened out but the creasing is still present. Front end page and pastedown both have the original owners name and info written in pencil which was the only area we found handwriting. No bookplates or library markings present. The book is in rough shape but is still holding together, good candidate for reference material. Please note: this is a heavy book so non-US sales or priority mail option may require additional postage, depending on location.
