Some faint penciled notations to front and rear endpapers. Binding is solid; leaves somewhat browned and with scattered foxing, but paper is still supple. Rear endpages are a bit tattered on the edges and corners. Textblock is splayed a bit, such that the block is thicker at the foredge than at the spine. Some edge wear, with underlying boards shwoing through at the foredge corners.
