The overall condition of this book is good for being nearly 90 years old. It does have some normal wear and age associated with a book printed in the 1930s. This includes soma age, shelf wear, and handling use of the covers. The pages are naturally age-toned, and they display a light wave to the upper page margins, but it is only aesthetic. It is fully intact, complete, and well-bound.
