IF 1955,March

Tight, 1/4" spine-tilt (but spine is flat.) Writing (3 numbers/letter) in white area around tilte at upper left of front cover. Age tanning is average for its vintage. No stamps, marks or writing. Inside of front cover shows a stain-trace at upper left (1" by 3") that does not show through to front; back cover has smaller stain-trace at upper left (1/4" by 1-1/4") which does show through on inside. Despite the somewhat extreme tilt, this still makes a good impression because there is very little wear.
