Condition -
Very good condition. Just slight age-tanning of the paper. Handling wear is limited to just a softness to the corners and a couple of small marks on the back cover. Otherwise it is nice and flat, without creases, no pencil or ink, no rips, etc. There is just slight age-fading to this 62-year-old document - somehow surviving the duress of vacation travel.
Email any questions not answered by the photos and description before bidding. Thanks.
