It appears to me to have been re-bound at some point. The binding is strong and tight, and the boards flat. The corners are slightly bumped. The pages are yellowed and show extensive foxing, though I don’t believe it is from mold, but from some other chemical reaction. I found 3 leafs of the Dedication to Paul Orchard that comes from Vol 2 of this book. It will be included with this purchase.
