This Bible is in a overall VERY GOOD condition. It can also be used and opened easily as its bindings and the spine/covers have been professionally restored. There is NO writing on any of the pages. There are NO ripped or missing pages, just a slight occasional 'aging' of the paper and a few 'age spots'. There is some slight wear to the edges of the covers and areas on the leather.
