This great old magazine is in FAIR condition. Everything is holding together fine. The front & rear covers have edge & corner wear, but no big tears and no grease stains or writing inside. There is mostly common wear from a magazine that is 75 years old. The paper is a newspaper type, and it is yellowed. It is not badly brittle, but must be handled with care. The Internal pages and binding are holding very well. See the photos for any detail you need, or contact me if you need any scans or photos of particular areas.
....and thanks for looking. |
