I do believe the gilt on the front cover may have been touched up. The back cover is blind-stamped with a border design, but no gilt - & it looks very good. Marble on the edge of the textblock is starting to fade. Tips and spine ends in great condition. It does have its title page. Pages are ALL very clean, except the free endpapers which are spotted, and a few spots to the frontis, only a handful of other very, very, tiny spots. No rips or writing that I saw. 1 wee tip folded plus apx 10 wee-tips bumped. One very, very tiny chip to the gutter of the rear free endpaper -flowered one covered by the tape in the last picture. Front inner hinge is very good - rear is taped [see last picture].

A MUST HAVE FOR ANY AMERICAN LIBRARY! Add me to your Favorites list.

AND check back now and then to see what's new! Otherwise I can't send you a new invoice.

T can take up to 14 days to get back East [rare, but it does happen] I use. This book is very old and. May have accumulated bad smells along the way [musty basement/ mildew/ smoke]. Dryer sheets in them for a few months makes a world of difference! My nose doesn't work like it use to.

So the old book smell doesn't bother me. As far as I can tell -this books smell fine.
