This is a “very good plus” vintage 1949 paperback with a solid binding, no significant flaws to speak of, no writing, no loose, torn or folded pages. Text block edges are tinted all around, relatively uniform, not spotted, covers close flat, some minimal surface and edge wear.
Really quite nice – you don’t generally see copies this nice!
