Pages have some sporadic spotting, mostly light. A few small rips and folds. Gilt a bit faded -it looks brighter in my picture due to the flash.

Tips lightly worn, except the back lower which is worn more than average [see picture]. PLEASE ADD ME TO YOU "SELLERS YOU FOLLOW" LIST. AND check back now and then to see what's new!
