Wraps also show bumps, creases and small tears. Although the pages are stained with some rippling in spots the book is still very readable and very usable. Front cover shows tearing along the spine edge spine shows chipping and tears as well. No signatures or bookplates inside, no handwriting, no library markings. One of the pages had a small upper corner fold which has been straightened out. Binding of interior pages strong. Though the dampstains are prominent it is not affected and the of the pages to the degree where they were ever stuck together.
