MAGAZINE OF F&SF 1953,December
Tight and almost square; spine is flat with light wear. Line next to spine, very faint long bend-trace down right side of cover. Covers still retain some gloss and back cover has no wear at all - makes a good impression. Age-tanning is less than usual for this vintage.
