Condition

Here are the notes on the conditions. We try to cover a lot, but we might not catch everything.

• This section shows normal age-related toning/browning typical of 1940s newsprint.
• An institutional library stamp (\"Ohio State University\") is visible near the top banner of the front cover.
• There might be a few small tears along the edges, but we have tried to mention anything larger.
  • There are a few tiny tears along the centerfold side. This includes at the centerfold line.
• The printing, particularly the color printing, might sometimes have some streaks through it (caused by the printing press).
  • This is visible on pages 3 and 7.
• The top right corner of some pages are folded/creased.
• The binding fold is a bit wrinkled on the outside pages (pages 1/2 and 11/12).
• There is some extra uneven discoloration along the edges of some pages (see photos).
• The pages are normally a little worn/abraded along the centerfold lines where the pages were once folded. This is generally most noticeable on the front and back pages. The pages have been sitting flat for most of their existence. See photos for further details.
• The front and back pages might have a few faint scratch/wear marks that mostly show up when the light catches them right. This might not be the best description, but this might be visible in the photos.

Shipping

This item will be placed in a plastic sleeve and shipped flat between two pieces of cardboard for added protection. Items typically ship in 1-3 business days.

We will happily combine items when they can easily be shipped together. Final cost will be based off the total package weight. This should generally result in some savings on shipping of multiple items. The current weight of this item with packaging is approximately 1 pound.
