4/26/23 10:30am - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 1420: I performed a cursory examination with a random sampling of book pages, I did not examine the interior of all or count pages of books, I note some scuffs, wear, and small losses to leather spines, some bending to boards, all bindings intact, but some spines are loose, some with white marks to exterior, likely fingerprint marks, pages intact with varying (but overall, seemingly light) foxing and toning, as commensurate with age and use. I am not an expert on books so please let me know should you have further questions.
