Very Good
Portion of morocco at base of spine has been professionally repaired, slight wear from handling and opening (slightly affecting a few mounted plants including some with small pieces missing), some marginal age-toning to thick stock leaves, a few small repaired tears to the upper inner margin of several plates; overall, a very good copy.
