*Notes on Programme Condition*  Many of our programmes are over 50 years old (some are 100 years or more) and consequently usually have signs of "yellowing", "tanning/toning" and, in some cases, "foxing" (brown spots). Print quality varies and there may also be some small creases, thumbed corners and minor tears along the edges of the pages and, particularly, the covers. Some programmes have poorly and unevenly cut edges to the covers and inner pages. If metal staples were used they may have rusted, partially or completely, leaving rust stains and some, or all, of the pages unstapled. In some instances, the crease along the seam (fold) of the cover pages may have split resulting in the covers separating.

Depending on the extent of the various imperfections, and the programmes age, we grade it as being “Very Good, Good, Moderate, Poor or Very Poor” and, if we consider it relevant, we will specify significant damage.

The grading and comments are our own opinion and are not any form of “warranty”. Please study the photos closely before bidding for, or purchasing, any programme
