Long Description
The leather spine is abraided, but the gold printing is bright and clear. The wood slip case is very worn and the paper decoration is very faded. Inside, the tooled and painted leather covers are like new, the watered slik fly leaves are like new, the gilding on the page edges is like new. Pages are very slightly yellow, but are turnable and readable.
