ASTOUNDING 1957,October
Tight / square; spine is flat or slightly dished, some trace of neat glue repair. Some wear next to spine front & back, 1/4" chip gone from upper left corner of front cover - otherwise rather nice. Age tanning is average or slightly worse for this vintage. No stamps or writing. There is a small hole in the upper left corner of back cover (1/8" wide, 1/8" deep.) I would guess this is a bookworm boring from many decades ago.
