Maps have some small tears at intersecting crease lines due to some wear and the age of the paper. Internal folio maps have small tears toward the spine side, which is typical for these large volumes. Faint smudging of some pages. Edges of text block have stamps on all three edges. All pages are clearly readable with no underlining. A good+ example of this rare book.
