Condition Note
It's rather difficult to get the color and the contrast of the original in a scan AND preserve any flaws, which tend to get muted, so this text will describe flaws, if any.
The pages have small binding holes along the edge where they were bound in the magazine (not reaching into any of the images or text). Light handling wear. Overall in good shape. Carefully removed from an original period magazine.
