This 1935 publication is intact however it does display wear commensurate with its age mainly in the form of fraying and small tears along the edges and spine.  The staples have long disintegrated, and the pages are loose.  Please see the photographs which are a fair and true representation of the quality.  This booklet runs to 16 pages (26cm x 18cm).
