The first set of notes are about Exodus 9. 1 - 35. The second sets of notes are on Haftorah. Ezekiel 28:25-26 - 29:21. There are also a few smaller inserts with no notes. It seems a bit silly now that I am trying to describe the book. I felt they might be informative for the new owner. They can be removed. - The boards are a wine coloured leather. It's a heavy book, weighing in at 1.745 KG's. Boards are in a beautiful condition. The endpages front and rear are clean and seem to be made of plastic. They are grey in colour. - The pages are very thin. - There are a few creased pages and corner folds but other than this, the book is immaculate inside. It has been well looked after. - This book weighs close to 2KG, but ordinary postage rates will apply, worldwide with full insurance during transit. END - Our orders are shipped within 1 or 2 business days. - Thanks for your interest. Artikel-Nr. 001362
