The maps are mostly very good with light scattered foxing, occasional color offsetting, and repairs to several short binding tears on verso. A few of the maps are loose, including the map of North America, and one of the folding maps of Russia has several small fold separations that have been repaired on verso with old tape. Covers and spine are worn with bumped edges.
