Inside the front cover name and address of previous owner in ink (Howard Colby, Marblehead Neck). Condition: Only fair. The first end page, frontispiece, and title page were laid in when I purchased the book- the pages had been trimmed on the right edge so are smaller than the other pages. I have laid the said pages back in with some glue on edge. Looks a lot better. There is fraying to top and bottom of spine, corners and edges. Many of the tips of the pages have been turned over, causing many heavy creases, many on the verge of tearing. some have small tears. Page 196- 1/2 by 1/2 pice missing left edge; page 286- 1/2 inch tear top edge; pages 365-368 the tips of the bottom corners are missing; I am going to allow for a few other nicks and tears. I went through the book page by page and might have missed a couple. On a few pages there are light check marks in the margins- light pink. $4 Media S&H in the U.S. $5.25 Priority.
