The book is in half green calf rubbed and worn with the backstrip separating. There is a small amount of of bookworm damage to the outer edge of the leaves not affecting the print area and one leaf has a lateral closed tear no loss. In all this is a rarety with guitar scores being fairly unusual and with songs here little-known. Searches for the titles herein reveal most are not available for sale elsewhere. Scarce if not rare.
