06.06.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 1185: As described there is wear along the edges and spine, including peeling and creasing, there is slight separation between the front cover and some of the frontal pages but currently remain securely bound, I do not currently note torn or lost pages, the pages being free from observed pen marks/ annotations, and having typical toning and light foxing/ spotting commensurate with use
