This was clear when trying to hold the book open for photos (difficult to hold open). There are no attached bookplates or embossed seals. Sharp corners, no obvious scuffs or rubs. It has a BRAND NEW slipcase and a minimally restored chemise (otherwise it would have ultimately come apart).
I think it looks near-perfect after the discreet restoration. See final photo to see condition of original slipcase. Please see the photographs for best description. The book is still spectacular after almost 80 years.
