This book is in good condition. The pages are foxed (yellowed) but this is to be expected considering the age of the book, (118 years old). There is writing on the inside cover and throughout the book (name of previous owner and notes). This book looked like it belonged to a teacher or a student. The binding is sturdy. There is rubbing on the edges of the covers and at top and bottom of the spine.
