In very good exterior and very good interior condition.
The front and rear endpapers show marks from old adhesive tape. This is because the book was clearly once protected with a handmade paper cover, which, as was common, was taped to the inside. The positive aspect of this is that the book itself has been very well-preserved over the decades. Name inscription on title page, otherwise ok.

All pages are complete and tight in the binding.
