near-Fine
MAGAZINE OF F&SF 1954,May
Tight and square with flat spine. Very nice with minimal wear. Age-tanning is less than usual for this vintage. Very clean inside & out. The only flaw is a ghost of a stain-trace at upper right corner of cover - only noticeable where it crosses the yellow corner box (see scan.)
