The rear hinge is sturdy and discreetly reinforced, with a hint of separation at the gutter paper (see closeups). Internally, the binding is sound. Previous owner's name in ink on the front flyleaf; else free and clear of writing and underlining. The pages are lightly tanned, but clean, with occasional imperfections.
