The cover, blue background with blind embossing to the front, gold lettering which is slightly faded but clearly legible, has shallow corner bumps and fraying to the ends of the spine, which is straight. The blind-embossed floral group is in good condition. There are scuffs, but no prominent stains. The only attachment is the attractive bookplate of Arthur Ulderic des Jardins, to the front inside cover. There are some pencil notations to the end pages, but no ink or other indelible marks, and none at all throughout the body of the book. The pages are clean, with all the lettering unfaded. The binding is tight, with no loose or missing pages. Some pages have shallow edge wear, but no notable tears or creases. The ad section is also in very good condition. The accompanying photos are accurate reflections of the conditions.
