Book had cosmetic damage. However it is solid, sound is firm and so are the pages. 90 year old book. Pictures are of the item you are purchasing. I ship everything packaged very well. Note my reviews. If you require specific packaging, you must ask before purchasing, depending on the request I may have to charge for extra handling. If you want to combine purchases to reduce shipping, all purchases must be in your cart before check out. I am happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you for visiting my shop.
