11.7.25 - In my opinion regarding LOT 2430: I note that the covers remain securely bound, the spine with some separation but all pages appear to be present and remain secure (see images), the covers also with typical minor peeling concentrated at the edges and corners commensurate with age and use, a review of the interior reveals toning, light foxing, and some scattered spotting/ staining, I do not observe missing pages or tearing, one of the frontal pages with an inscription in pen dated 1930 from a previous collector
