Top edge gilt, others rough-trimmed. Spine ends and corner tips rubbed and with a touch of chafing to some board extremities. The hinges somewhat tender and the binding cracked at the first text leaf and at several other gatherings. Some marking and finger soiling to the endpapers and to many leaf margins.
