MAGAZINE OF F&SF 1950,Summer
Tight and almost square; spine is flat with light edgewear, a crossing-crease across spine (extends 1/2" into front and back.). Slight overall curl or upcurve to magazine at left, line next to spine and some waviness or ridges - next to spine (front & back.) The biggest and most obvious problem is noticeable to heavy overall wear - as heavy rubbing wear front and back (see scans.) Age-tanning is less than usual for this vintage (causing me to discount some of the overall wear when grading/pricing.)
