Lots of advertising pages at the back of the book.  Looks like it had some advertising pages at the front also, but a few of these advertising pages may be missing.

Covers have darkened over time

Spine has become detached from text block - does not look like there are any pages missing - text block is still tight

Pages are fairly clean - minimal foxing

Slight musty smell

I've been told that this is a somewhat rare book and can be restored
