condition:
The cover is a bit rough with the spine separated from the back cover. The back cover is still attached to the book.� There's soiling and rubbing to the cover with a writing mark and a few scratches on the back. The corners are bumped/frayed.
The pages have some toning and some smudges from little fingers and some having edge wear a few small edge tears, an inscription on the front pastedown, but in general the interior is still nice. The book could be kept as is or the illustrations would be wonderful mounted and framed.
