In good condition for age but please review photos as this is a 130+ year old book. Some damage/wear as shown to spine, edges and corners of cover. Inside cover page is torn as shown but all other pages seem to be intact. Binding is in excellent condition. Pages have minimal yellowing. Extremely readable condition and a fascinating look back at agriculture in Pennsylvania from the late 19th century!
