This listing is for an original Lionel "Instructions For Assembling and Operating Lionel Trains" book from 1946. The covers are green an orange while the pages are white with black ink. Cover and pages are worn along edges. The front cover has a stain towards the bottom. The first page has a tape glue residue and staining on it. This version does have the Chart of Replacement Lamps with some never produced catalog numbers. The identification number is "Form No. 497". (P3)

I try to store the majority of my paper products in resealable comic poly bags with backing boards for presentation and protection. They will still be shipped in the bag while using other materials to stiffen the shipment to hopefully prevent bending or creasing. But please remember that once it is in the care of the shipping company that I have no control on how they handle the package.

I try to list items honestly and to the best of my ability. I try to list all, if any, defects to the items in the description and show them in the pictures. Please look at the pictures closely as they are also part of the description. If there are any questions about an item, please feel free to message me as questions are encouraged. If extra photos are required, please message the specific area and I will try to oblige as quick as I can. 

With all that being said, here is the fine print.... all items are being sold as is condition and therefore no returns will be accepted. By purchasing an item, the bidder accepts these conditions and does not hold the seller responsible for anything. All sales are final.  Thank you for reading and looking at this listing.

Package usually ships within 3 days of payment. I will combine shipping on multiple items to save on shipping.  Please wait for an invoice from me on multiple listings as I will pack first for shipping and then to the billing.  If interested in another item(s) before or after the first one closes, please message as to avoid any confusion and I will wait until all the items of interest are completed.  Local pick-up is also available upon request.  And again, thank you for looking.
