The front cover is lightly creased and the spine has a vertical crease running along its length; the front end paper, half title page, title page and page 7 have minor loss to the head, caused I think when the pages were separated. Its worst sin is that a previous owner repaired a cracked hinge, which wasn't actually causing much damage, with masking tape. The tape has fallen off leaving behind and ugly brown stain. For the rest the book is quite solid, and the pages though tanned, unmarked. "Moses Joseph Roth (2 septembre 18941, Brody, Galicie - 27 mai 1939, Paris) est un écrivain et journaliste autrichien, né en Galicie, aux confins de l'Empire autrichien (aujourd'hui en Ukraine), sous le règne de François-Joseph, dans une famille juive de langue allemande."
