The pages are discolored due to age, and there are several pieces on a couple of pages. My aunt believes she purchased this book from a library book sale in the early '60s, or the late 1950s. This book has an odor associated with long-term storage of books. If you know old books then you will recognize the scent. Please see photos as they are part of the item description.
