The original green cloth binding remains structurally sound, though it exhibits uneven sunning to the boards and a notably darkened, heavily faded spine that has shifted from green to a brownish hue. The extremities show mild rubbing and minor shelf-wear. Internally, the binding is secure with no loose pages. The text block edges are moderately toned and dust-soiled, with scattered foxing that occasionally encroaches into the margins of the preliminary leaves, though the main text remains largely bright and legible. An honest, intact copy bearing typical signs of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This 1932 'Second and Cheaper Edition' of \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"58\"\u003eBilliards\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive guide to the game by the legendary Australian world champion, Walter Lindrum.
