Publisher's two-brad original boards with gilt cover lettering Original tissues still present. A bit of soiling and tips very slightly bruised. A very cood copy.The fact that the unknown manufacturer calls his wares "artificial gut" tells us that… this sample catalog fell in between the time when fishing line form Japan was made form gut and its current iteration; nylon. The last six coiled samples are of colored lines. Generic printing underneath each sample and on the inner front cover.
