My Father-In-Law cherished his book collection and put his personalized nameplate in the front of the book, two personalized embossed stamps in the front and back of the book, and a book log in the back of the book.  The nameplate and book log have been removed and left a very light shadow of tape residue behind.  A small amount of the gold gilding is missing from the back cover. See pictures for additional details.  This book is in excellent condition with gold gilding on the page edges, binding, and front and back of the book, a silk/satin bookmark, and leather binding.  It has no visible wear and is from a smokefree home.
