MAGAZINE OF F&SF 1953,November

Tight and almost square; flat spine. Light to moderate overall wear including 3" scuff line at middle/top of cover (through magzine name.) Faint glue(?) traces/stains ion spine and next to spine on front - more noticeable next to spine on back cover (see scans.) No glue was used for repair, so how it got there is a mystery - they look very old. Age-tanning is average for its vintage - mild to moderate and uniform.)
