Binding age worn (as typical for small oblong paper booklets of this era), mostly light or inoffensive signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, book remains overall attractive as an object.

Still attractive on the shelf. The booklet displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive.
