Spine remains legible with gilt title and ornament, with additional wear at the head and foot. Metal clasps are present and close properly, with age-related tarnish, oxidation, and engraved markings. Gauffered gilt page edges show tooling and decoration with some darkening and handling wear. Marbled endpapers are present. The first page is loose, as shown in the photographs. Pages show age toning, scattered foxing, light soiling, and some edge wear. No complete page count has been verified, so completeness is not guaranteed beyond what is visible in the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51255624696086,"sku":"AMD-02961","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Aprildrewsbooks2026-6366.jpg?v=1777414316","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/dutch-catholic-prayer-book-brepols","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
