This book was published in 1953. It is not perfect but still usable. The cover is weak at the spine on the front and back but it is still attached. You can see in my photos it is worse in the back. I assume that is why the owner put this plastic cover on it which supports it nicely. 

It has wear on the corners. The ribbon markers are dark and frayed where they stick out of the book. Inside they are still brightly colored. The edges of the pages have a mottled look and at the top there is a white patch. The inside looks pretty clean and nice so other than the cover problems it is still very usable.   

The book measures about 3 7/8 by 6 5/8 inches. It has 1445 pages.
