The front cover has separated from the binding. However, the cord binding is still tight. There is foxing on many of the pages; however, all the pages seem to be easy to read. There is a pull-down chart at the beginning of the book which is still whole with only light foxing. (see photos). The book is entirely in French.Book will be priority mailed for domestic sales.
