There is general discolouration and and staining to the panels along with a red ink mark on the front panel. The internal pages have been printed on newspaper quality paper and consequently it is starting to crumble at the edges and to brown. The endpapers are discoloured and have marks stains and general handling wear. Size: Folio over 12" tall . 64 pages. Please refer to accompanying picture s. Quantity Available: 1.
