A couple of small stains to the front cover. Edges of the covers have some moderate wear. Faint signature to the front cover in ink by "A. R. Bagley". The gluing on the inside of spine has dried making the cover loose from the text block. Has not affected the outward appearance of the spine. Could be reglued. -- Binding is tight and the book is internally clean. The Wolf Cub's Handbook was adopted as The Boy Scouts Association's official handbook for its Wolf Cubs program. Translations were made into a number of languages. The Boy Scouts of America obtained the rights for the book in the United States and published their own edition in 1918, although it did not officially adopt and operate a Cub Scouts program until 1930 under a modified program".-wikipedia.
