The spine is faded and most of the gilt lettering chipped away, worn at the foot and head with the front cloth split at the front board, only held by a neat strip of glue. The boards with light rubbing and bumping to the corners, some light scuffing and scratching to the front illustrations and rather light scratching to the rear board. No damage to internal hinges, very faint damp stain to the top fore-edge tip of the first two pages, and a couple of small light spots to a few pages following the errata. The boards very sharp, thus quite uncommon and overall a very good copy of this quintessential bar tending and drink recipe book with its attractive art deco boards and interior illustrations. Fragile copy because of the split cloth at the front board, but very presentable and collectible.
