The book shows significant wear, particularly on the spine and cover, with visible abrasions and fading. The binding remains intact, though the absence of a dust jacket leaves the boards exposed. The pages are yellowed with age, but the text is clear and legible. This wear is consistent with a book over a century old, and it remains a solid reading copy for those interested in early 20th-century publications of Shakespeare's works.
