Condition

With wear in the form or rubbing and chipping to the boards, especially to marbled paper. Many of the spines are cracked or have open tears. Some of the spines are fully detached to one side. The leather also shows signs of red rot, and is in sore need of conditioning. The binding itself remains tight, and there is minor tanning to the pages. Overall, the binding is in as-is condition, but the text remains in good condition throughout.
