It is disbound but has a reinforced spine. Per Whitmore Rare Books - "The present work, which appeared that same year in London's The Gentleman's Magazine, provides a rigid defense of Wheatley's authentic talent. In addition to providing some biographical information on her purchase by the Wheatleys, the piece documents John Wheatley's attestation that 'as to her writing, her own curiosity led her to it; and this she learned in so short a time.' The author encourages readers to purchase the volume for themselves and judge its contents. He also provides an activist incentive: 'She now is under the disadvantage of serving as a slave in a family in Boston. It is hoped (though it is not so expressed), that the profits of this publication will, in the first place, be applied toward purchasing her freedom.'" Per the title page: Containing more in quantity and greater variety than any book of the kind and price.
