There is a light dent near the top of the front board and the spine is very slightly cocked. The contents are tight and clean apart from some scattered small marks and stains from finger smudges, etc., and a few more noticeable small stains on pages 9 to 11. The back of the frontispiece, last page and the free endpapers are browned and there are remains of a partly removed school prize label on the front fixed endpaper.
