The title page says: Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and the Salaman and Absal of Jami. It continues on to say: Rendered into English verse by Edward Fitzgerald. At the bottom of the page it says: New York Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. Publishers. I find this little book to be attractive and to have a lot of character and charm. The book has 288 pages. This is a small book. The book measures approximately six inches tall, and approximately four inches wide. The title is printed on the cover and the spine in gold, along with a decorative design. The outside edge of the book pages are gold in color. The binding of the book is suede, which is lined with a fabric which resembles grosgrain ribbon. The outside edge of the suede is not cut precisely. It looks slightly ragged in some areas.
The book cover has wear to it. There is an area at the front bottom edge of the spine where a section of the binding is gone. This can be seen in the last photograph. There is also a rip in this area, and a small area that is slightly folded up, with a nearby crease along the bottom edge of the book cover. There are some nicks and marks on the suede surface on the book cover. There is a noticeable dark colored mark on the front cover, at the mid center area. This can be clearly seen in the listing photograph. The inside front pages have some slight wrinkles on them. The first paper pages at the inside front and inside back appear to have some slight discolorations on them. The title page has some discolorations, and a few of the following pages do as well. The pages of the book are not a bright white, they are a darker color, and so the discolorations blend in with the color of the pages, in my opinion. There is a red ribbon that is lying between two pages, and the ribbon has caused a discolored line on each of these pages, where it has touched the paper. This line of discoloration is a dark color.
