| PhysicalDescription | Condition: The weaving appears to be coming loose at the top and bottom of the spine. In addition, the entire spine appears to be coming away from the actual pages, so care must be taken when opening and closing the book. The pages themselves are in good condition, however, with none having been torn out or damaged to any great degree. |
