About This Item
Publisher's stapled illustrated wrappers, 12mo, pp. 48. FAIR condition. A vertical tear to front wrapper up from the bottom edge has been closed internally with a piece of tape. Tear continues on leaves up to about page 7. Wrappers are smudged and toned. Old tide lines, bottom edge at gutter, first few leaves. Tide lines also in fore-edge margins up to about page 12, then the tide recedes, so to speak, only to resume in smaller form about page 36, Some page tips bumped. Foxing text block top edge. A battle-scarred but endearing survivor of a cheaply made publication, creeping along towards a second century of existence. Safely stowed now in a clear new Ultra-Pro sleeve.
