Condition:  Well-worn copy, with wear and tear from age and use.  Outer cover of binding missing, and a few torn pages, but the book looks to be complete, and the binding is still holding together.   See photos for detail. 

Here are the eBay definitions of condition.  I place the definition here that resembles the condition of this publication the closest:  

Books & Magazines 

• Acceptable: The book has obvious wear. It may have some damage to the cover, but its integrity is intact. The binding may be slightly damaged, but its integrity is still intact. There may be possible writing in the margins and underlining and highlighting of text, but there are no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text. See the seller's listing for full details and a description of any imperfections

This book is a time capsule from a previous era, with some examples in my collection going back over 220 years old.  The conditions of media of this age can include fading, yellowing, cracking spines, odor, missing pages, loose or missing covers, and much more.  I will try to alert you as to the condition of what I am listing.  Each book I do a brief check of its overall condition, but I cannot promise that something such as missing pages, or clipped photos could escape my glance. Thanks for checking out this old time classic!  

I will be listing hundreds of vintage books, magazines, catalogs, and media in the coming weeks and months.   Keep a look-out for additional listings, and thanks for supporting this cancer survivor and small business!
