The binding is slightly loose but remains intact and is not severely compromised. The boards and spine show light age-related wear with some rubbing and minor scuffing. The interior has scattered spotting and toning throughout, consistent with late 19th-century paper and storage over time. The prize label is affixed to the front pastedown and is legible. A solid and attractive antique copy with honest, appropriate wear for its age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51111265894678,"sku":"AMD-02855","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Drews_books_3.17-4570.jpg?v=1773857476","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/napoleon-buonaparte-full-leather","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
