The boards have some warping and some darkened/blotched areas. The front cover has lots of imperfections, blemishes and marks (see photos). Top of book is "cocked" while the book is cocked to a lesser degree towards the foot. The lettering on the spine is almost completely faded. Previous owner's name on the free end-paper in dark blue pen. Back board has a vertical indentation front the bottom to about 3/4ths of the way up. It looks like something heavy was placed on it. It does affect the shape of the book bending is slightly. This book is not "square". There is no odor. The free end-papers have plenty of tanning and some blotches. Some of the edges of the pages are rough and scuffed up. There are no dog-eared or creased individual pages. The cloth corners of the cover are not rubbed. *While the boards show obvious blotches and marks, there is only one very small sign of exposure to liquid on any of the pages.
