We are using an older Farah whose early 40s listings seem not to match this item perfectly, suspect we'd have a 1943A if it appeared. Guide goes from 1942-1943 to 1943B with no pcj jacketed version showing the correct particulars, for example there are no post-text cross-promotion ads in the book. Also while no wartime condition notice appears, paper has the mild overall brownishness of the era. Jacket is in acid free mylar wrapper (closed with acid free tape) and is distressed. While color is excellent and edgwear is minimal, the jacket has major front panel ripping and chipping, please note: this is not likely to show in the books foto. nancy head has abrasion just below hairline. Plain frontispiece, not glossy. Text unmarked, no cocking or undue board abrasion. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.
