Condition

The reddish brown cover has a faded spine, with shallow fraying to its ends. The outside corners are bumped. The lettering and art to the spine are faded. There are splits at the sides of the top of the spine, but the spine is reasonably well connected. There are no loose or missing pages. The front end pages have a few pencil notations. I've found no other writing. There are no stamps or other attachments. The few several pages, including the title spread, are stained to their bottoms. There are occasional spot stains throughout the book, but most pages have no stains. All the illustrations and all lettering are unfaded and clearly legible. I've found no page tears or notable creases.
