The binding looks very old but is still quite ok. The gilt on the spine has faded but you can very unclearly make out Shakespeare. The binding has gone up a little bit and has some moderate wear on sides but is still in ok condition and good considering the age in my opinion. The book has some dog-eared pages but has very little foxing. This was quite surprising given the extremely old date of the book. The book has all of the besutiful frontispieces. Has some small markings made in pen on side of a few pages but these has been erased with a pen. Also had a name that i have erased and another one in ink that is on the inner board opposite front-free endpage. The pages are fresh. This was Has the most important and famous works of Shakespeare Romeo & Juliet Hamlet and Macbeth. Also including Julius Ceaser and Timon of Athens.
