| Notes |
Some rubbing to edges and some small areas of exposed board to the tips of the corners. Cream paper to the rear boar has some marks and ridges from irregularly spread glue during the binding giving a faint tanned pattern. the front has some slight tanning to the background but the pretty illustration is bright. Occasional faint mark internally and some light toning to the edges. There is some gaping between the prelims and the first song but the binding remains firm. |
