Annotated in pencil throughout, and with a page of annotations at the end. The handwriting is distinctive (and certainly not Block's), with the capital N in particular.

Somewhat aged and worn, with a horizontal strip of light discoloration at the head of the cover, which has the title and author's name surrounded by a border made up of Tenniel's illustrations, beneath this is a quotation from Dodgson's poetry and the price of '7/6 net'. Across the middle two pages is the heading 'The Centenary "Life of Lewis Carroll"'. The text begins by explaining that Reed has made use of Dodgson's letters to Ellen Terry.
