this book is in Very Good or better condition
and the only faults that I can find are as follows:

light foxing to first and last few pages and a bit of spotting to plate margins

else:

the binding is tight and straight
covers and gilt are clean and bright
all pages and illustrations are present (as called for)

there are no tears, marks, stains or insect damage

*a gelatinous solution used in gilding paper, stiffening textiles, and preparing plastered walls for decoration.
