It's in great condition and there are a couple of dits in the gold background counted them there's probably 10 of these microscopic little dits.it's very pretty book this is the kind of book. People tended by and cut and frame the pages much like they did with Victorian illustrated plant and flower studies.... Known in Iran as a leading mathematician, Omar gained literary importance through certain quatrains that were translated by Edward FitzGerald. The Ruba'iyat is justly famous in English translation. Others besides FitzGerald have tried their hand at translating it, not all with admired results. Bowens's is a good example of competent and pleasing work. FitzGerald's Rubaiyat has long been one of the most popular English poems. Although actually a paraphrase rather than a translation of a poem by the 11th-century Persian poet Omar Khayyam , it retains the spirit of the original in its poignant expression of a philosophy counseling man to live life to the fullest while he can. .Expedited Shipping available questions email or call before ordering.I have a good description and pictures,however some books can be an expensive purchase, and it's easier to answer a question or take another picture in advance in ensure your happy and no buyers remorse. ..Ruth Reaser..LAX Vespa.This will be shipped through United States Post via media mail to fulfill your order, Los Angeles Area since I carefully pack your book, hop on my Vespa and visit the PO to have it placed in our mail system..
