The book has plenty of ware. I tried to take pictures of all of it, especially the worst parts. The rips on the spine, the page separation, and general ware. The actual pages are in good shape. It's still an amazing once in a lifetime piece to add to your book collection! I thought about getting some repairs done to it, but I didn't wanna ruin its originality. I'll let the next owner decide its outcome. Please don't hesitate to send me a message for any additional questions! I am selling as is.
