Beautiful brown embossed book boards make up the covers for this book. The edges of the cover and spine have some minor rubbing but are in otherwise great condition. The spine and hinges are tight with no separation or splitting.
Inside pages have a beautiful soft tanning and are clean with no folds, marks or damage.

*I love the size of this book: 6-1/2" wide and 8-1/2" tall. Spine is approximately 1-1/4" and the top of the book block edges are gild.

If you love unique vintage books, you will LOVE this!

Would make an Amazing altered book, part of Assemblage art project, collage book, art journal, use for collage papers or keepsakes, etc...
