This book was printed in 1904. While there is minimal writing on the inside, the book is in phenomenal shape. Please see photos. There is a little bit of damage to the top of the spine, but the gold foil along the edge of the pages is in excellent shape, the pages themselves are not marred, other than the dedication in the very beginning there is no writing within the pages, the binding is intact and firm. If you have any questions please reach out!
