Light cover rubbing and edgewear; purple Z pencilled on front endpaper; the last 2 pages and rear endpaper chipped at outer 1/2" page edge from separation, not affecting text. The title page is separating at the top 1 3/4" from the hine; a name and 1899 date are inked on the front endpaper. It is otherwise solid and clean.
