Condition:
Please
zoom in on
photos carefully
as they are part
of the description. I am human and sometimes miss a thing or 2, but
I
try to mention the book's main faults
. all of my books are VERY OLD
and have 100+ years of wear to varying degrees
boards -
very secure, small stain to the back lower area
textblock
- pages are secure, however, some proud signatures [ sections of pages] ---- and some separation towards the very back
outer joints
- very good
spine ends
- very good
tips
-
very good
inner hinges
-
very good
pages
- mostly very clean or with just a few small light spots, but apx 30 or so are dirtier than usual -- see picture #11 - it was one of the dirtiest -out of 944 pages not too bad!
rips /folds
-  a few very small rips [apx 5] & a corner of one page missing & replaced with pencil writing to fill in the small amount of lost text [picture #10] /a few dog-eared pages
writing
- none that I saw
other
- gilt remains quite bright.Overall - good plus condition for its age!

Tip to
Remember, old books are fragile-
when opening an old book, always have the front cover supported! It's best to
place the whole book on a soft pillow,
one that the spine can sink into.
AND check back now and then to see what's new!
I do combine ship, but only if you "request total from seller"
BEFORE YOU PAY
-otherwise I can't send you a new invoice.  Place the items you want in your shopping cart, then "Request total from seller", when you get the new invoice, then pay. If you have trouble, contact me. I am
occasionally out of town
for a day or 2, don't panic, I'll get to it ASAP

for understanding --
and remember
-this book is very old and may have accumulated bad smells along the way [musty basement/ mildew/ smoke] - I have found that dryer sheets in them for a few months makes a world of difference! some of my books get sold right away so please consider using this trick before deciding to return it!  As far as I can tell -this book has no bad smell.
