The good news, or the bad news??? Bad news first. The cover is worn (would grade good to good+), with three tears in the cloth by the spine (one 1/4"x1 1/2", other 2 smaller snags). End papers & title page missing. Some low life idiot pasted clippings from art magazines on the back of a number of the plates and the facing papers. Some of the facing papers are missing. The last pages are loose. Now the good news. All 24 plates are present, and in very good to very fine condition. Very, very little foxing, although perhaps a little darkening of the paper. On very heavy stock, there has been no damage or bleed through from the clippings glued in. With the advent of scanners, perhaps more of these books will survive the scum-of-the-earth breakers.; 10x12"
