The book measures 6.25 inches x 4.25 inches.
The 427 pages are gilt-edged to the tops and hand-cut to the sides and bottoms, are nice and neat and a little faded with age, with light foxing near the covers/rims. The binding is good with no loose or missing pages. There are previous owners’ names at the front and a few markings in the text.
The original embossed hardback cover is in very good condition for its age, with minor wear and is a little grubby. The gold on the spine is very good.
