Crisp, clean interior pages with no writing, tears, or staining visible in the provided images. Binding appears tight and square. The only notable flaw is on the front cover, where a previous owner wrote a small word or name and later obscured it using a dark marker. The text is no longer legible. This mark does not affect the readability of the title or any interior content. Overall, a well-preserved and uncommon 1977 local‑history publication.
