This Bible is in a VERY GOOD condition. The binding is good, intact and strong. The hinge on the cover is holding well but will require (as always with these Bibles) careful handling. There is NO writing. The book itself is covered in a heavy brown leather in a very good condition with some scuffing and some surface and corner wear. No missing pages nor any staining nor any writing, just a slight 'aging' of the paper.
