This book is Volume II of two volumes. It has some really great stories about the happenings at the time, with many illustrations of the stories..

The book is in great shape! The cover has wear from 'bookshelf use' (being put on and taken off a shelf) and could use a cleaning, some yellowing around order the edges and a fingerprint (maybe someone fabulous!?) on the Title Page. A private library label inside cover. No marking seen..
