The gilt spine lettering is still legible and bright. The marbled endpapers retain their color well, with some age-toning at the edges. Internally, the pages show moderate tanning typical of books from this period, with only occasional foxing. The eight illustrated plates are intact and clear. Minor tears or chips appear to be confined to the preliminary pages. A well-preserved and attractive copy overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49812490912022,"sku":"AMD-0385","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/EC76EB96-553A-447E-81E5-4E2B5B6C9499.jpg?v=1757894528","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/abraham-surgeons-log-1916-half-leather","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
