Condition:

Good+ or better Condition for this morality novel. Cover is lovely, and shows minimal wear, but light tanning to spine. Owner name etc. penned inside front with date 1857. Hinges/binding are tight/strong. Very little or no age-tanning to paper, which remains strong and supple. Light foxing scattered through book, perhaps on 10 or 15% of pages. Interior is otherwise clean...almost no sign of wear. No DJ. Strong/robust book.
