Book Interior VERY GOOD / Covers Good. Bottom pages edges now cut and thicker paper than in the 1950’s.

Page edges sunned. Inside of book is tight, clean, clear, much brighter than the covers, pages are almost white, flat, no rips, no holes, no writing. Small bit of age darkening on edges of some pages. A few pages may be dog eared. Book is over-opened at page 130 and 162 but no pages are loose or missing.  Not only fun to read but fun to look at the old advertisements for cars, etc.
