The maps are unusually crisp and clean. The map of Spain has a 3" edge tear at left and the map of France has numerous pencil notations in the image, but otherwise the maps are very good to near fine. The text is tight and moderately foxed. The spine is chipped at top, the hinges are starting, and the covers are warped and soiled.
