MAGAZINE OF F&SF 1953,September
Tight and almost square; flat spine. Very little wear. Faint glue(?) traces/stains on spine and next to spine front & back (see scans.) No glue was used for repair, so how it got there is a mystery - they look very old. Age-tanning is moderate and uniform (a little worse than average.)
