Inside, the pages are lightly tanned, but this is consistent with a book of this age.

There is no pen or pencil written inside this book. There are no rips on the pages. The main text block of the pages is mostly tightly bound, and there is just an extremely light and partial crack in the gutter between pages 96 and 97 are light cracks in the gutter between the pastedowns and endpapers (see photos). All pages are secure and there are no loose pages. There are no missing pages and so all 338 pages are present and accounted for.
