The book is in nice condition with a clean cover and pages and a tight spine. The cover is bright and unfaded. The first page has presentation inscription as follows: "To C.E. Heil from his sincere friend C.J. Sangers". On the prefact page Mr. Heil wrote his name and "Paris 1896". The photo is of actual book. The cover is all maroon and does not have the light reflection spot shown. Sale benefits a small Maine library.
