Add to basketYou can see the covers in the photos. They are clean. There is a crease coming down from near the top edge of the front cover going about two-thirds of the way to the bottom edge (first photo). The spine is a lightly sunned. The gilt lettering is still quite bright. There is light wear at the top edge of the spine, a spot of rub-through at the bottom edge of it. The cover edges look very good, no rubbing. Same for the corners. The top page edge is gilt. It looks very good. The middle and bottom page edges are deckled or rough-cut. The edges, nonetheless, are for the most part smooth. The pages are solidly bound. There is one instance of a very thin space between two facing pages the middle of the book where it was probably left lying open. Both pages are tightly bound from top to bottom. The front cover is very solidly bound as well. You will see that there was a crack at the juncture between the rear inside cover and the last blank rear end paper, and that the paper there was glued back into place. However, a tiny bit of the paper must have been lost, so there is some webbing still showing at the juncture over the top few inches coming down. However, however, the rear cover is solidly bound, there is no give when you pull at it from the side. The last of the two blank rear end papers has a vertical crease from top to bottom. The two rear end papers and the last four pages of text have a tiny nick off their bottom edges just adjacent to their junctures, a couple show a very tiny tear there. Otherwise, the pages look to be in excellent condition. They are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. That includes the white inside covers and end papers. I'm not seeing any foxing either. And I'm not seeing any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. I did notice that there are a number of pages that are uncut, so any buyer should have that amongst his or her talents.
