CONDITION:
Front and back covers are in very good condition
Back cover has a brownish stain at center, likely from furniturepolish over the years
Covers have a “wave” to them – see pictures
Book appears to lay flat when placed on a flat surface, onlywhen viewed straight on does the “wave” become visible.
There are some “usage spots” - finger smudges, that show on the pages intermittentlythroughout.
Book binding is a white cloth “hinge” that is intact
Pages are all tight to binding and have no wear from thecloth hinge
Interior pages are bright and supple
I have seen no rips or tears
No notes, scribbles, or added art work
Less the finger smudges and light wave / bow of the cover,this oversized book is in great condition. Requires a large area to open and view!
A wealth of factual knowledge that combines the written wordand artwork on the US Civil War.
