In very good to excellent condition. The cover is fairly clean, showing just minimal staining, a small bump to the front cover and microscopic corner bumps at the head and tail of the spine. The pastedown has a partial separation at the bottom in front and at the center in the back. The entire textblock however is intact and shows only barely noticeable age toning to the paper. The binding is quite tight and strong.

This is an excellent reference resource for a serious collector of Imperial Russian faience.
