    An ad for H. H. Brown - book and job printer
    Considering that this booklet is 188 years old, it is in decent shape.
    The sewn binding is a bit loose but still holding together. There are
    creases, tiny tears and light stains. Inside there are corner and edge
    creases, and there is quite a bit of age tanning inside and out.
    Slight mustiness.
    An interesting piece of Rhode Island history!
