This volume is in very good shape, with very light rubbing to the covers, and two small indents to the front cover. There is a one-third tear to pages 117 and 119 going across horizontally. Page 281 shows signs of dogearing. There is virtually no foxing and very little staining throughout, with a pencil mark to the final catalog leaf. There is toning to the very edges of the pages.
