Condition

A good copy, with a nice trio of signings. The covers are a little creased to the back cover and with some handling marks but the contents are in very good condition. The booklet was closed before Tambimuttu's red ink writing had a chance to dry and there's a little offset to the inside cover. The pages are clean but with a little foxing to the central pages.
