In very good condition overall. Leather exteriors show wear and rubbing, cracking to joints with a split down leather of upper spine, partial tear and peeling to a spot to lower spine, and leather starting to peel at edge of cover at spine. Interiors are very good with a tight text block, inner hinges are cracked but solid, faint and small stain to the bottom edge of pages 281-288, sporadic and light foxing throughout. Otherwise pages are bright and clean.
