Light dampstain on pages toward back of book. - Pullout is torn, as pictured.- Small loss of leather at top of spine, shelf wear, and joints beginning to crack; otherwise, the cover is in extraordinary condition for being original. The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique books always show their age. (Don't we all!?)
