The book features black cloth binding with gold lettering on spine. The covers have blind-stamped design. The corners are bumped and worn through and there is fraying to top/bottom of spine. The outside gutters show some separation although the covers remain fairly well attached. Allpages are clean and tightly bound. The book shows definite wear but remains in overall good condition.
This is an extremely rare book! A re-backed edition of this book is selling elsewhere for $384!
Very collectible book on an unusual topic from 1841!
