Condition:
Overall the lot is in very good condition with general soiling to the covers and occasional foxing and stains/smudges. The upper-outer corner of pages 93-96 have torn away (the text is unaffected). The 1923 issues and a few of the 1924 & 1925 issues have small tears along the bottom edge. The back cover of August 1925 has a vertical half-way down from the top edge - a piece of tape has been applied over the tear at the top. Some of the issues have newspaper clippings which have left tanned outlines on the pages.
