Condition

The cover has been wrapped in clear plastic, which has adhesive backing, and is bordered in light brown (apparently paper). The cover is loose at the front, almost loose at the back (see photo). The pages are in good condition overall, with a few shallow edge tears, but with no tears to most pages. There is sunning to the borders. This isn't pronounced and doesn't extend into the live areas. Page 67 has been removed. This is the only missing page. There is a personal bookplate to the front inside cover.
