It's in good condition but there is wear and crushing to the corners which has caused slight fraying to the cloth. There is splitting to the cloth at the bottom edges of the boards (see photo) and the boards show minor marking and soiling. The spine is sunned with light dulling to the gilt, whilst crushing to the spine ends has caused minor splitting in the cloth (there is also a split to the top of the back joint which has been repaired with glue). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the book has new endpapers and two names have been scribbled out with pen on the verso of the frontispiece. The pages are clean and bright with sporadic foxing and slight creasing from handling. The book has black and white illustrations within the text. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions approximately 18.5cm x 13.1cm x 2.8cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57553843224949,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/1557D4E3-740F-4476-BC14-80197675939A.jpg?v=1788774335","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/the-early-choice-a-book-for-daughters-beautiful-floral-cloth-antique-book-copy-1","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
