Please note the wear on the spine/corners/boards, particularly noticeable near/along the edges and on the spine, and the wear that is present on the pages, particularly noticeable on certain pages. The wear on some of the pages is considerable. The wear on the spine has resulted in a very noticeable altering of the shape. All of the wear previously mentioned is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. While all of the pages are present and attached, one can clearly see some space/separation along the top edge of the spine, (the area that connects the spine to the pages). As previously mentioned, there is a previous owner illustrated bookplate! The bookplate is attached to the front pastedown, (inside front board), and contains the name of a previous owner. The name was written in pen. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear/age when determining the value of this rare book. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear. Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear is very clearly visible! All of the wear should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!! Payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed.
