Physical Description
Front cover is detatched. Binding shows signs of deterioration but is otherwise intact. The surface of the cover is scuffed and well-worn and edges are extremely worn down through the leather surface. Black ink in a semi-circular shape on back cover suggests that there had originally been a printed stamp or seal. Despite wearing, the integrity of the cover and binding is still intact. Minor curling in upper left corner of the first few pages. Extreme foxing thoughout. Pages are brittle but in otherwise good condition.
