MAGAZINE OF F&SF 1955,December

Tight and almost square / flat spine. Age tanning is moderate and uniform - average for its vintage. General appearance for most of the magazine is about VG+; back cover has noticeable to heavy wear including a pair of 6" diagonal fold-traces at upper left. Inside back cover and going back for about 45 pages (and a small patch toward front) are some stains?/bleaching in the side margins not affecting text - the areas are lighter than the age-darkened pages.
