Maps are generally very good with minor toning and some faint to light color and text offsetting. The map of Boston also has a few small spots in the bottom of the image. Text and plates are generally clean and bright with an occasional faint spot of foxing along sheet edges. Internally tight, but front cover of volume one is detached and both covers of volume two have been rudimentarily reattached with binding tape. Spines are heavily worn and chipped and covers show average wear. Internally sound, this example would benefit from professional rebinding.
