Condition: According to a note on the front fly sheet the Bible was “rebound about the year 1812”. Front and back boards are just starting to slightly split but holding strong. Some close trimming, browning, tears, and staining, the worst can be seen in the photos. Overall the pages are crisp and easily read. The end/last page of the Apocrypha is missing the bottom quarter but has been repaired with a page backing apparently covering a handwritten note. See all photos and read entire description for condition. Sold as is.
