The Autograph book has some significant wear and damage to the covers and bindings (some repair has been done with tape). Many of the pages are no longer bound within the covers and are loose. There is some wear, fading and blemishing throughout the covers and the pages and some tears and creasing along the outer borders of the pages. The book is very delicate.
