Just a touch of shelf/edge wear to Gray linen cloth boards with black embossed designs of a train passing thru Pike's Peak with gilt titles - corners sharp. NOTE: There is no loss to the gilt (looks pristine) on the front board or the spine. Previous owner circular library embossed stamp at the bottom corner of the FFEP. Previous owner name and Denver, CO written in beautiful script at the top of the FFEP. First 10 pages have a corner fold and there are a few more scattered thru the book. All have been straightened out. No writing on pages or text. No foxing. If not for the folds and the library stamp, this would be Near Fine.
