Thanks for that.
I suppose I am being too concerned.
The book is exactly as shown on "The Land of Borchardt" web site.
It does smell old and there is rusting where the staples were.
Also, it has been in New Zealand for about 22 years that I know of.
There is a very limited market for such a book here, two or three at the most and I dont think it would be worth the time involved.
I think I was surprised at the condidtion, having never seen one before. The three fold out drawings and photographs are on glossy type paper which I did not know existed 100 years ago.
Regards
Murray.
