This is a very neat Antique book with very nice illustrations! This book is over 140 years old and you can tell that it was well loved! No missing pages. Both hinges have been repaired and the binding is split in a few paces (Pictured) 99% free of writing, however, there is writing on the inside covers and only one other page that I noticed. About 5 pages have small tears near the binding (see pictured examples)The covers have bumped corners and are very worn. This book is still very readable and the pictures are very nice to look at! No odors or mildew smell. These books are becoming very scarce! It would be a great addition to your shelf!
