IF 1957,August
Tight and almost square (square at top); spine is flat. Aging of white background of cover is much less than average. Very little wear - except for a faint 2" vertical fold-trace in bottom right corner of cover (2" away from right.) Age-tanning is average for its vintage: mild to moderate and uniform. No stamps, marks or writing.
