Description

This book is larger and thicker than the others. It is buckram bound in very pale gray on the front cover and light teal on the back cover with maroon leather accents and black stamped decoration on both the front and back covers. Mr. Heard wrote an F and a 6 in red ink in the center of the front cover. The right edge of this cover has been chewed, I think, and the buckram has frayed. Much of the text in this book is extremely difficult to read. Many properties have more than one entry. Spine Red band one third from the top says "Records" in what once may have been gold lettering Cover P. 1 Described above Cover P. 2 No text Between pages Single sheet of white paper folded in half.
