Binding age worn, various scattered edge splits and old tape repairs, mostly light or inoffensive signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, book remains overall attractive as an object.

Paper is gently toned, still mostly clean and sound internally. Despite the various condition issues, images still display well.
