Summary FINE
Assessor HR
Notes Book shows general wear along the spine and edging synonymous with handling. The binding still appears in good condition but approximately a fifth of the way in, some pages have become to loosen from the spine. There are several loose images (4). Some foxing on the pages and yellowing, which is again, typical of the age. The pages have been fixed using staples and rusting has begun. This can be seen slightly on certain pages. Potentially fallen foul of silverfish at some point.
