Paperback. Condition: Fair. 127p. Limp leather wraps which were originally dyed green. Heavily rubbed and much of the dye has rubbed away, especially around the edges. Wraps extend a little past the page block, and show the usual wear to these yaps, especially at the corners. The endpapers are split, the front pastedown is torn and trying to come free. The rfep has come loose and is laid-in. Issued uncut, and not all pages have been opened. A few pages have pretty ragged fore-edges from careless opening. Pages are clean and bright. The binding is in pretty rough shape, due to the problems with the endpapers already described, and the wraps are definitely trying to come free from the spine, but are still attached at present.
