ASTOUNDING 1946,May
Most of the magazine is VG+ or better (front & back covers, interior.) Spine is missing most of the paper (only the date and part of title remain.) The exposed page edges have been faced with a neat coat of glue (epoxy) which is quite durable - no risk of further damage or fraying of pages.
