Small markings of red paint at center left edge and center spine...some small soil marks at top edge and a CB diagonal crease at top left corner...small creases at bottom left corner and overall general wear and fading/soiling of the white background. Overall structure is decent with the FC exhibiting near-perfect registration and alignment...book lays flat with a mild spine roll...pages exposed to view a uniform 1/4-inch at BC. Inside covers exhibit a general fading but no real tanning. “Ed Haselwood 21338 Moneta Ave. Torrance, Calif.” stamp at upper right of the splash page. Centerfold is detached at bottom staple...otherwise secure at top staple...staples are rust-free and tight.
