Minor wear to the book. The jacket has edge wear with some small closed tears and lateral creases, rubbing to the jacket with some attendant color loss. Author's foreword: "This is not an attempt to write a book about the Shakers and their furniture. There are already excellent books which serve that purpose. . . . Rather, this is a collection of measured drawings made to scale and with dimensions and details accurately copied from Shaker pieces which have been in my shop for restoration or reproduction. These drawings and patterns have been accumulated over a period of many years of interest in the woodwork of the New England and New York State Shakers."

It does have a little bit of wear, the most noticeable being a couuple of small corner creases on the covers. The pages are age toned, as well, and as is typical of almost any 50+ year old mass market paperback.
