Debossed square on front lower right corner and what appears to be shadowing from a label towards the upper middle of the front panel - label not present. Rubbing to edges, slight fraying at tail of spine, and some light loss of color (possibly from original staining of the cloth based on look - very small). Old sticker with prince to front pastedown. Deckled long edge. The date '1948' on the copyright has been marked out in black, though still visible through. The interior is lightly toned, otherwise it is clean and clear.
