Condition Report
Overall, this copy is in acceptable condition, however it's also important to consider the age of this book. The left edge of the cloth covering the spine is detached and the cloth is only kept in place by the right edge. There's extensive rubbing to the top and bottom of the cloth covering the spine. There's some discolouration, wear and scoring to the boards (see images). There's a minor cloth tear to the bottom left corner of the back board. There's some pencil notes and doodling on the first pastedown. There's an inscription on the ffep dated 1868. There's some very small pencil notes at the top of the title page. There's heavier spotting on the first few pages, however it's lighter on subsequent pages. There's a very minor 1cm tear to the bottom right edge of a couple of the pages in the middle of the book.
