It has been repaired with all types of tape many times over the years by previous owners. Early editions of this book are getting harder to find largely due to the fact that during publication they were printed on very low quality paper. Over time, this made the pages brittle and susceptible to damage. It was also one of the "Most used" books in a household. This particular book is still an antique collectible, over 100 years old, at a more economical price because of the age damage. Perfect for display, kitchen décor. Please see photos. A must have- and one of the top 10 all time cookbooks to add to a collection.
