This Show Bill has ordinary handling wear on the front cover and edges. Rear cover page has a manufacturing defect where the bottom corner was bent during printing and cutting. Unbending it now sticks out past the edges. Other than the this, the program is fairly solid and not brittle or unreadable or badly degraded. Just handle with care. SEE PHOTOS.
