Onion skin has one tear.
Book is frayed around edges, see picture.
No missing pages or torn pages.

Name of original owner is very pale ink on
inside page….I think it reads:

“Miss Matie A. Roger’s Book”

Spine is loose in front but pages still
all together. Some dirt and dust typical
for age. Text is small in this book and
all pages I checked clearly readable,
not affected by dust or dirt around edges
of some pages.

$20 plus shipping. Please refer to “1881 Tennyson Poetry Book” when ordering. Buy Complete Works of Tennyson
