There is a bookplate on front pastedown indicating the book was given as a prize in 1901. Text is otherwise clean. Binding is solid. Leather is cracking at hinges. Front interior hinge also cracking. Front and rear covers still attached. Boards in decent shape with minor marking of leather (some possible staining on rear), a little fading of gilt, worn corners and edges. Gilded page edges look pretty good. Some cracking of leather on spine and wear at spine ends. See photos.

Used book was purchased on an offer. It was very good price even considering the shipping cost from the USA. The seller communicated very well. He must have sent the book quickly as it arrived in only 11 days. It was VERY well packaged. The description proved accurate and well worth the shipping cost. Excellent! I would recommend and use again.
