From a Significant Boston Silver Collector

Light marks and scuffing to boards, extremities rubbed as typical, wear and small losses to spine ends, and some cracking at the joints with the volume still sturdy; light wear to endpapers; all maps laid down on cloth, with toning, expected offsetting, and occasional light grime and minor insect damage; plate 18 with some additional staining at edges, occasional staining to cloth, and all index tabs replaced (from likely original leather); overall about very good and a better copy than is usually found.
