This 100 year old book is in very good condition considering its age with good binding and no major issues. The cover has some fading, shelf wear and some slight fraying on edges/corners. The interior pages have yellowed with age and show a few small, light stains on a few pages as well as a few folded corners but no rips or tears. We found some dried binding glue residual along gutter on some of coated stock photo pages. We did find one of the photo pages that is approx. 50% loose from the binding but is still attached.
