The boards are rubbed and lightly soiled. The fore edge has suffered a stain from an ink spillage which has intruded slightly into the pages. The "this book belongs to" panel on the front pastedown has been completed with the date of Xmas 1945. Apart from light age tanning the contents are free of any other marks. Scans available if required.
