This is hardcover with a paper picture laid over. Text block and covers secure.
Back board looks good with just 2 rather small scratches - but very clean for its age. Pages are generally all very clean with jus a few minor spots.#'s written on first picture [at the bottom - see 2nd picture]. There are some rips, most under 1.5, in the gutter area - all have been taped with doc.
There is a 2" rip and a 3" rip as well. One page with a very small pin-hole [shown with orange paper -picture #10]. Library blindstamp to the title page and only 1 plate [see last picture - it is very hard to see it -piece of paper next to it].
No other library markings - spine, endpapers, or otherwise - I promise! Overall -very good for it's age. A NICE ONE FOR YOU COLLECTION! Please Add me to your Favorites list.

This book is very old and. May have accumulated bad smells along the way [musty basement/ mildew/ smoke].
Dryer sheets in them for a few months makes a world of difference! My nose doesn't work like it use to. So the old book smell doesn't bother me. As far as I can tell -this book smells fine.
