Clean covers and spine. Small cloth tears at the top and bottom edges of the spine. There is a minor crack at the front hinge between the frontispiece and title page resulting in the front cover being just a bit shaky. The back cover is firmly attached. Nice interior - the pages are mostly clean with only a few random, light stains and smudges found. Light foxing to the tissue guard over the frontispiece. The front end papers has an old bookplate affixed - a shadow outline of the bookplate appears on the facing pastedown. Overall the book is in Very Good- condition.
