Spine reinforced with 2" non-yellowing library tape. Spine is flat with slight tilt; light overall wear has made the finish slightly matte/flat. The biggest problem is a 5" vertical bend-trace from bottom to the middle of cover.

Chapters 1 to 7 (the first 70 pages) are by A. Merritt. Chapters 8 to 27 (another 220 pages) are by Hannes Bok - he completed the fragment in 1947 after Merritt's death.
