The book comes with a facsimile dust jacket of the original dust jacket, which provides protection from further damage to the book and an attractive display for the book on a bookshelf. The cover boards and spine are lightly soiled and with the spine slightly faded. However, the front board has maintained its blue coloring with vibrant orange lettering, and the top edge of the book pages have maintained their orange rustic coloring. There is a small amount of foxing along the edges of the pages which is common in books of this age. The binding has maintained all of the book pages. There are lengthwise splits of the front and rear hinges, disconnected but not separated, which are simple repairs for an experienced book conservator or adept bibliophile. Overall condition of the book is “Good +” less
