This is a large format, stapled soft cover, measuring 9 x 12″, published in 1939 by Rogers-Kellogg-Stillson, Inc., 20 pages in total, filled with black and white artwork and photographs.
This is a “good +” item. The outer cover is not attached, and it appears that the upper staple is completely gone. The cover is split about 4″ at the bottom at the fold and about 1 1/2″ at the top. Aside from weakening at binding fold, the pages are not torn or folded. No writing. Covers have edge wear, lower front corner is dogged.
Showing some wear, but is complete and still quite pleasing. Relatively scarce publication now.
