There are pages torn and cut out before page 299 in random areas (most had writing on them). It has a brown leather cover with red and black trim. The word "Ledger" is on the spine. It is worn and torn and the spine is loose. size: 11" x 16" sample account names: Barring, Kaiser, Johnson, Barry, Hastings, Fish, Jones, Brown & McKay, B.C. Society, Kuhland
