Without flash:




The front cover:


The 5 raised bands on the spine:


The pentacle:



The back cover:


The blank flyleaves and title page:


The first woodcut - Silentium est aureum "Silence is golden"


The Porta Secunda woodcut:


The damaged S as pointed out by Fargas to Corso:


The fake 9th woodcut:



These books are still in pristine condition. I will be starting the weathering process for each book soon.
