GOOD: This book is from the early 20th Century and is in excellent condition for a book of this age. The library that previously held this book has placed stamps on the inside front cover and first end page. Although the pages are yellowed, they are still attractive and readable. There is a separation between the table of contents and title pages, but overall the text block remains intact. The cover is a dark green and the spine has golden foil lettering.
