The Gnome King of Oz is in good shape considering the age of it. The binding has a red number on it and may come off. I didn't try to remove because I didn't know what to use. 
There is slight tear at the front top of binding and the back top corner has a bend on it. I didn't see any pages torn or written on. 
There was a name that has been erased on the page of "This Book Belongs to". 
This book shows normal wear for the year of 1927.
