The interior is clean and in good condition with all the plates and drawings. There is some period notations and doodles scattered throughout the book but nothing that hurts it.

He second page contains a period pencil notation that reads: “THIS BOOK HAS BEEN PRETTY WELL ‘USED UP’ BUT I THINK YOU WILL FIND ALL IN IT THAT WILL BE OF ANY USE – IT IS THE LATEST WORK THAT I CAN GET HOLD OF TO SEND YOU. WE ARE GOING TO A NEW WORK, ONE FIRST ISSUED LAST YEAR BY LT. SOMEBODY- IT HAS NOT YET ARRIVED AND I WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO PROCURE ONE WHEN IT DOES ARRIVE OR I SHOULD GET ONE FOR YOU.” The notation is signed G.L.L. There is also some hard to read doggerel at the bottom of the page.

Nice complete early manual.  [AD] [ph:L]
