The Marked Reference New Testament

This hardcover edition shows signs of wear consistent with its age. The cover has visible scuff marks and edge wear, particularly along the spine, which also has some chipping. The absence of a dust jacket means the hardcover has borne the brunt of handling. Despite these exterior flaws, the binding remains intact, and the pages are clean and free from inscriptions or markings.
