About This Item
I am not a professional dealer, just trying to downsize my collection.
This book is in good condition for its age. The boards are still attached except for an inch on the back board. The main body is tight as is the spine. Top edge of pages are gilt and the titles on the spine. There is a small signature on the first page. The illustrated title page and the portrait with tissue are in good condition. The inside of the boards, back and front are badly foxed, but the rest of the pages are in excellent condition. See photos
