There is a tiny pinhole through the front board at about the middle, and evident on about the first five of six pages of the book. Errata page tipped in at front; includes 85 plates and 316 pages. This book was published from an original manuscript dated 1822 in Beau Brummell's hand, and this limited edition is the first publication of that manuscript
