CONDITION
Condition of the Book is Fair-
the main flaw is that the cover boards are present but both are detached, and the cover of the spine is gone
spine is tight and no loose pages
former owner's bookplate on first blank endpage, and former owner's name writ atop "Poems On Slavery" title page, but no other writing inside
almost no foxing at all,
no dogeared pages,
no handling marks,
and excellent candidate for a rebinding
I think I've covered it all, but
all questions are welcome.
