Hi, thank you for your interest! In very good shape, with the following issues, which are visible in the photographs: Both front and rear hinges are cracked, though still held by the webbing. Considerable wear to the top and bottom of the backstrap. Bumped corners all the way around, and wear to the cloth of the board edges. General evidence of significant handling wear.Some evidence of color deterioration of the cloth.Significant foxing of the first few pages, which does improve as you go along. Here are the first couple of paragraphs of the Preface, to give you the idea: PREFACE I have undertaken to write a biography of Abraham Lincoln for the people; and, although they will be certain to learn what I have accomplished and what I have failed to accomplish in the book, I cannot consent to pass it into their hands without a statement of what I have aimed to do, and what I have not aimed to do, in its preparation. I am moved to this, partly by my wish that they may not be disappointed in the character of the effort, and partly by my desire that, in making up their judgment upon the work, they may have some reference to my intentions. Firstly, I have not aimed to write a History of the Rebellion. Second, I have not aimed to write a political or a military history of Lincoln's administration. Third, I have not aimed to present any considerable number of Mr. Lincoln's letters, speeches and state papers. Fourth, I have not attempted to disguise or conceal my own personal partiality for Mr. Lincoln, and my thorough sympathy with the political principles to which his life was devoted. Enjoy!
