IF 1955,April

Tight with very mild tilt (1/16"?); spine is flat. Very light overall wear, with a line down left side of front cover, 1/4" away from spine . Age-tanning is average or a little worse for its vintage - just starting to look a little darker towards edges. No stamps, marks or writing. Contents page has a bent corner at upper right (1" line) which will probably fall off within a year.
