Condition Remarks
All pages have discoloured to light brown; there are fold lines, tears, losses, and abrasion marks along the folded edge of the front cover; inside the front cover, on the top and bottom edges of the bound line, there are brown stains and smudges, as if they were caused by adhesive tape; the glue residue inside the back cover shows no discolouration.
