It's in good condition but there is wear to the corners and boards, with light marking to the cloth. The back board has some small chips and there is a faint ring mark left by a bowl or plate (too large for a cup). Crushing to the spine ends has caused minor splitting in the cloth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the owner has practised writing his name on the front pastedown and first page. The FFEP has been removed and there is cracking to the front hinge. The pages show heavy foxing with occasional staining. There is also some loss to the page corners in places and occasional small tears to the edges. A few of the illustrations have been pencilled on the tracing paper but many remain blank. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions approximately 25.7cm x 16.5cm.
