The cover, red cloth background with blind-embossed design, gold lettering to the front, darker lettering to the spine, is moderately worn, with a sunned and slightly slanted spine, which has shallow fraying to its ends. The outside corners have shallow bumps. There is sunning to the areas adjacent to the spine, and light scuffs elsewhere, but there are no significant stains. The inside (377 pages) has recurring light stains, and notable sunning/foxing to the end pages, as well as the pages adjacent to and borders of the 28 illustration pages, all of which are unfaded. Most pages are unstained. The lettering is uniformly unfaded and clearly legible. The binding is tight, with no loose or missing pages. There are no stamps or other attachments.
