Original outline color and maps in very good to near fine condition, with light soiling in blank margins and a damp stain in bottom blank margin on some maps, far from map image. Spine is broken and front cover and part of text block are disbound. Covers are heavily stained and worn. This atlas is essentially sold as a set of maps and is an excellent candidate for rebinding.
