CONDITION: Slightly cocked, with small stain to lower board, bumping to spine ends. Internally, the pages are lightly toned, probably due to being printed on cheap wartime paper, but are clean and unmarked. The unclipped dust jacket has some chips as well as two one-inch tears where the flaps meet the panels. Some darkening to lower panel. Overall, about Very Good.
