Condition (8/10) Good Overall. The binding and cover of this book are strong but there are many scrapes to the leather. All corners show signs of wear. There is slight binding separation under the front cover and the second page in, but the book is not at risk of separating. A repair would be easy. There are no missing pages and all the page content are in great condition. Some minor on the edges of some pages.
