Re: Title on spine. Minimum page count is 140 pages, according to CS. I have one book with a total of 158 printed pages and 2 blank pages that has a printed spine. I added 1/16 inch on each side of the spine to keep it from bleeding over onto the front or back covers. Worked perfect.
Binding is shaken and a little loose. Boards are rubbed at extremities. Spine has three creases on exterior. Internally, there are two pages that have minimal ink notes, 6 pages of pencil notes. Scarce. Not in the best of shape, but a perfectly good reading and working copy of this rare and valuable book.
