The endpapers are quite age-toned; and the interior leaves show evidence of dampnessperhaps from an overseas voyage? The frontispiece and title page were most affected, with small areas of loss, and both have been reinforced at some point. There is also rippling to the edges of some leaves, clearly visible in the images of actual book. See also some slight offsetting of color from 'A model of Bridegroom's / Bride's Red Card' (pages 464-5). Charmingly, the author has invited the reader to discover "minor errata" to add to the list, and a previous reader has added onein a tiny hand, in pencil.
