IF 1954,June
Tight / square, spine is flat. Front cover has a pair of 7-1/2" vertical fold-traces: at middle and 1" from right side, and a 2"/3"/4" set of fold-traces at bottom right corner. Back cover has just a 1" fold-trace at bottom left corner. This one has 2 grades of paper, so the side page-block looks striped: age-tanning is either mild and uniform - or mild to moderate and uniform. No stamps, marks or writing. A very clean copy with most of the wear on front cover.
