The spine has slightly faded, and there are a few marks on the boards, along with a couple of small knicks to the cloth on the foredge of the front and back board. On the black front free endpaper, there are a couple of small, hard-to-detect letters "WM" and some very faint ink letters above them that are unclear. The title page has an embossed round "Presentation Copy" stamp. The contents are slightly age toned. There is a small ink spot to the bottom corner of the first page of the Synopsis List, as well as on the reverse side of this page (see photo). Please see photos and explore my other listings for more antique neurology books.
