Household hints from the 19th century. No dust jacket. Blue cloth cover front printed in black same pattern is blind embossed on rear. Cloth is bubbled on front and seems to be coming loose from board and spine. Corners are bumped and one corner and spine top and bottom are frayed. Hinges are cracked inside front and back. Pages are slightly yellowed but type is clear and readable. As noted, binding in coming loose from covers but binding itself seems intact.
