Preserved remnants of the spine panel show how titling goes. Endsheets are easily salvageable (but the book's marbling is inferior). Textblock printed on alkaline…glazed stock; clearly reproduced period photos are scattered throughout the biographical sections; there are unfortunately only a few site pictures.
