This smaller, over 100 year old been is in overall fair to good condition for its age:

Pages: overall decent condition with some age marks, folded corners and small tears. Two blank pages at end have large tears
Edges: age marks and darkening

Please see all pictures as well to help determine condition (zoom in) and ask questions if needed.
