Condition: This vintage book is in Acceptable Condition. The spine has been painted with a preservative lacquer and has inked library markings. There is wear to the edges of the spine and the corners of the cover. There is light staining on the cover, perhaps from shelving. Inside the front cover is the remnant of a library sticker for Sacred Heart Church in Spencer, Iowa. The flyleaf is stamped "Withdrawn," as is the outer edge of the pages. The flyleaf is stained and partially detached, and the pages are beginning to separate from the cover at the front, but all pages are present. Other than being yellowed with age, the rest of the pages are clean and unmarked.
