This copy had a new spine installed not too long ago (<20 years?) As such the book is solid and functional. The immediate front and back endpapers have been creased and are somewhat rough (see pics). Archival tape has been applied here and elsewhere as necessary. The textblock in general is in nice shape. Other than some "Artillery School" stamps it appears to be free of notations. #538.
