Schirmer's Scholastic Series ~ Steps For The Young Pianist By Hazel Kinscella. This book is pre-owned and in acceptable condition. We believe this to have been a hard cover book but the cover is gone. It may not have been ~ it's hard to say since this music book is from 1917. The spine is loose at the bottom but no pages are missing or torn. A lot of the pages do have writing/notations on them. Please see all included pictures for visual condition and item description. Item pictured is the exact item you will receive.
