MRS. BYRNE'S DICTIONARY of Unusual, Obscure, and Preposterous Words

The book is in fair condition, with noticeable wear on the cover, including creases and edge tears. The spine shows signs of use, and the pages have yellowed with age, typical for a book of this vintage. There is no dust jacket present. Despite its wear, the binding remains intact, and the text is clear and readable.
