This is a beautiful book the only reason I have is as like new is because there is a smudge on the side of the golden gilded edges that is barely noticeable. I have taken a picture of this small imperfection so you can see for yourself. Its leather-bound and there is a blue nylon book mark attached. This book has only been opened to could take pictures. Spine is in perfect condition. No bends on corners. We ship Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Thanks for looking and happy reading
