About a dozen pages with marginal worm track disappearing into a single marginal hole, one marginal tear without loss and the last page with small cut corner no loss to printed area. *A practical marriage guide laid out in short pity advice and interspersed with short stories from examples including historical unhappy marriages of saints.
