I will try to take a few pictures of it when I have a chance. We haven't opened it for years, because the book is is pretty bad shape. The binding (which is not original binding as far as I can tell) is about to fall apart. It's currently on the bookshelf squeezed between a few book to prevent it from crumbling.
We were even planning at one point to digitalize it and donate it to a library (or some organization that can restore and preserve old book). But the family debate about it when this conversation come up because it's something that has been passed down for generations already.
