Boards rubbed, with some soiling, staining, and slight wrinkling to cloth of rear board. Inner hinges reinforced with brown cloth. Some soiling and foxing to endleaves, with scattered soiling, offsetting, and tears to text block. Friendship album owned by piano student Reba Fine of Laurel, Mississippi.
