The book is in rather poor visual condition and shows clear signs of extensive use.
There is damage to the spine, staining and discoloration to the covers, as well as yellowed and stained pages throughout.
The book has a name written on the first page, dated 1926.
Some pages are slightly torn or creased. However, the book is complete and fully readable.
Considering its age, the condition is understandable and should be seen as part of its historical character.
Rather than giving you my subjective view of the condition, please study all the pictures carefully and make your own mind up.
