Interior is unmarked with scattered foxing throughout, except for previous owners' names on half title page. Beautiful color to the photographs. Gilt title on spine and bird illustration on front cover and spine are clear and bright with light rubbing. Binding is tight and square, although the inside hinge is beginning to crack.
