The gilt decoration is rubbed and worn, and the title label is a little chipped. Internally, the front fixed endpaper has peeled from its board, and is almost entirely loose, and is a bit browned/foxed and creased, and with a couple of ink letters. The front free endpaper and frontispiece are missing. The rear endpapers have worming (affecting the board) in varying placesand degrees.
