Condition of the interior very good. Printed on good quality handmade paper; interior clean, without any discoloration.

The long, comprehensive text section is written in the colorful language of an explorer who seeks his own way and learns, while showing the reader this his way and the whole adventure of working with the find, while methodically and scientifically documenting the individual values.
