This is the definition of a binding copy. There is no front board, spine, or rear board. What you see pictured is what is there— which is to say the text block in it’s entirety save for the end pages. There are a few pages which are loose and some with chipping but all pages and all illustrations are present and accounted for. This text block meets all known issue points which are listed in detail above including the “Moses” point which is the most important. A serviceable copy which would benefit greatly from a fine leather binding or perhaps being recased.
