Condition
Fair condition. The main body of text is in good condition, but the prelims (the adverts at the beginning) are working loose (one page is loose). The pages are a little brittle and tanned, with some creasing to the corners. However, it remains a fascinating item and a useful genealogical tool. Some marginal annotations.
