• Inside the cover there is very thick gold colored paper printed with the Masonic symbol on it

• In the first volume, on one of the first pages is a thick piece of canvas and on the other side of it, it looks like a thick textured painted picture of Albert Gallatin Mackey, but of course it must be some type of printing technique.

• After that is a Fraktur page featuring color pictures of women representing \"Faith,\" \"Hope,\" and \"Charity.\"

• The next 455 pages of Volume 1 contain printed accounts of history, terminology, drawings of symbols and people. Very interesting to read.

• Leather covers are in wonderful condition. They do show wear at the top and bottom of the spine. See pictures.

• If you let Volume 1 open naturally, it will open to page 216, which is exactly mid-point in the book

• On Volume 1 on the first white page inside the back of the book you will see a little tiny cracking in the paper near the binding. Minor.
