#### **Condition Report**
* **Overall Grade:** Good +
* **Cover & Spine:** Light blue textured cardstock wraps show minimal shelf-wear and light age-toning along the margins and spine. The black cover illustrations remain bold and highly legible.
* **Text Block & Pages:** Lightly age-toned uniform wood-color at the far edges, but the pages remain supple, clean, and free of interior markings other than the signatures.
* **Binding:** The book appears to have been mistapled, there is only the lower staple and it did not “sit” through the center pages. The centermost 4-page signature is missing and two or three of the remaining are detached from the block, as per the images.
