Original grey paper card wraps are worn around the edges with some chipping and curling, spine cover repaired with old brown paper. Interior paper is toned with some foxing throughout, corners curled and bent, some chipping at the edges. The repair to the spine has left a section of the gray card on the inside front cover.
