This very informative book contains 92 pages with black/white photos and illustrations. Measures 5-1/4" by 8". Binding tight, normal wear and scuff marks to covers. Minimal edge nicks or edge creases. Only writing is pencil marks on front inside page. Light water stains that appears at the top center of each page, but does not affect the text or photos. Would grade this book as very good. Even though this is a BSA merit badge series book, would still be a nice addition to someone who is just getting into leatherworking. (inv:books189)
