VG+ to near-Fine
MAGAZINE OF F&SF 1956,December
Tight and almost square; flat spine. Age-tanning of pages is noticeably less than usual for this vintage. The covers must be printed on a different stock than usual: the insides show more age darkening than any I've seen for this decade - but the outsides have the usual matte finish that resists wear and aging.
