Some callouts: Small split in spine at front but spine otherwise in very good vintage condition Bookmark ribbons in good shape (w/a few wrinkles) but ends are a bit tattered & worn - probably from storage Handwritten note on inside facing page from Judkins (a wedding gift message?) Outside cover has normal wear & tear on edges & outside of pages, consistent w/vintage age While I did not check every single one of the 800+ pages, upon spot checking through many, the vast majority of them look to be unmarked with no writing, tears, missing pages, etc. There are a few pages with random spots/smudges, but those are very, very minor and are infrequent Has that typical vintage book “smell/aroma” # retro old Julia Child cook book collect collectible collector collectors collectibles antique keepsake cooking baking books rare aqua light
