These impressions have also slightly affected the facing leaves but are not terribly objectionable The binding is not original, but an attractive burgundy buckram with titles, including dewey number, neatly stamped in gilt. The binding appears to be early 20th century and shows virtually no wear, hinges very tight. Neat bookplate from a Museum Library on the front endpaper. A very attractive example of this very rare book. Images available. Very Good.
