Condition:
Please zoom in on photos carefully as they are part of the description
-all of my books are VERY OLD and have wear. I try to explain the worse, but I am human and sometimes I do miss a thing or 2.
EXCELLENT for its age-
the boards & text block are very secure. No rips, folds, or writing that I saw- but there are about 10 leaves with just a tiny, tiny small rip/bump [apx. 1/8"]. Spine ends with wear. Back cover looks very good. It DOES HAVE its title page. Tips very lightly worn.
