The spine has a 1" chip at the top and 1/2" chip at bottom, with a closed tear midway; there never was a spine title, and again a binder can relace the leather chips and repair the tear. The front hinge also needs repair. Lacks pp.33-36, 51-52 and plates 6-9. Half of rear endpaper torn away, with a signed inscription above of unknown origin.
