Firmly intact and can be perused easily without worry of any harm to the book. Although tattered, still has its original cover. No backing for the pages.

A great, rare book from the latter 1700s with some fantastic scenes enclosed, including an odd bestiality scene where a man is getting off by having two rats crawl all over his penis, as he clearly relishes the moment while two female onlookers secretly gaze in awe at the scene unfolding.
