This copy was printed in 1952. "Beat But Complete" is how I describe this particular copy.  Well worn cover, parts of outer spine have fallen off over the years. Age discoloration evident on cover. Cover top right corner appears to have paper loss from some form of sticker or price tag removal in the past. Their is some tanning , mainly on the first and last few pages. All 16 fold-out maps are intact. There are some underlined passages and a few words written inside in red or pink ink, not too much. Also some areas on some of the maps circled in pen. A perfect copy to use as a reader. I am not a professional book seller or grader so please look at the pictures . This is in poor shape for a Collector's copy, perfect for reading use.
