It has a little printed stick on label on the front cover, as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover is slightly shabby around the edges and at the top and bottom of the spine - this is larger than the book inside - so any nibbled tops and cuffs could be trimmed off easily to neaten the edges there. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover is clean and the book has no previous owner's inscriptions or scribbles inside. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flyleaf has some minor spotting to it - again as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a total of 140 illustrations in the publication showing you how to make a whole range of items from leather etc. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author of the publication is Ann Macbeth (1875 - 1948).
