The front and back covers are deatched, 6cm of the spine is missing and the spine has damage.
Where we have indicated that a plate or page is missing we have assumed that it was there originally and has been later removed, however there is no evidence that some of the pages / plates were removed, so it is possible that they were not included in the book originally.
