This is a decorative gold and beige hardbound book with a floral design on the front and rear cover board in a gold background. Gold gilding on the binding and cover remain mostly present, although the gold paint has worn off most of the dots on the cover. The page tops are also gilded. There is visible wear on the cover edges, the top left corner of the cover is worn to the underlying board, and there is a scraped area on the back cover. Everything is shown in the photos. Note, a few photos seem to add a pink tinge to the edges - that\'s a reflection from the wood or something - but not real, there\'s no pink coloring to the book. Pages and binding are in great shape, very firm. The book is 322 pages long, and measures 6.25\" x 4.25\" x .25\".
