Condition

Good vintage condition with light shelf wear consistent with age. The covers show edge wear, rubbing, and spots of discoloration. The binding remains tight, and the pages are clean with light age toning. Please review all photos for the best representation of condition. Paula Brown wrote their name in marker on the side, and there is writing on the inner first page.
