Hardcover: H 17.25cm x L 11.5cm. Original quarter binding (black pebbled faux leather spine with paper over cardstock boards); spine ends worn with slender 2cm loss at head of front joint, abrasion and surface loss to faux leather (in essence some thin veneer polished cloth imitating a leather appearance) along the overlaps to boards; both boards' surface paper heavily rubbed with peeling and abrasion causing loss to lettering and/or decoration, wear along edges particularly at corners, moisture stain near top of front board. Toning to text block edges with original marbling heavily faded.
