Very interestin that on page 228, the previous owner, college professor whose estate this was purchased in, wrote her own depiction of things.....see pictures four. Very astute woman who passed away at that age of 90. Covers show minor blemishes.Slightly bumped corners. The book is tight and intact although front hinge starting as can see in photo 2. Deckle edged original pages. Someone took ink to three pages in the beginning including title page and I find one interior page. Toned pages due to age with some slight soiling and spotting. Please see photos, enlarge and email with any questions you may have. Thanks for looking. |
