How they could stain a beautiful thing, and once stained by slander it was indelible, it was there for always". Minor issues present such as mild cracking, inscriptions, inserts, light foxing, tanning and thumb marking.I liked the style Cookson used to tell the story-started at end/beginning and then filling it in the middle of this "silent lady".
