Condition:
This appear to be a custom-bound copy, as the title illustration at the center of the front cover looks as though is was hand-cut, presumably from the original front cover. Nonetheless, it is still nicely bound with string - both covers and all pages are securely attached. A few pages at the front have creases lower-outer corner tips. The pages are mostly clean - page 3 has some stains at the bottom half; the last page has a stain at the upper inner corner, and a small bit of blueish paper remnant affixed at the lower-inner corner. There is a lengthy poem written in pen on the blank page preceding the title page. Overall the book is in Good condition.
