Excellent condition overall, being sturdy, well bound and clean. Pages age toned pretty evenly throughout, although there are several pages on which the color prints have been made that have avoided this fate, perhaps being acid free type of paper. Even though toned, the black and white prints are bold, and the color ones on the acid free paper are quite brilliant and beautiful.
