Pretty good condition with light wear. Slight lean to the spine, crease on front cover along spine. Cover is now cleaner than appears in that first photo.
This book is one of the many comic books, pulp magazines, paperbacks, hardcovers, and other items I have inherited from my father, who had been collecting from the 1940s in Maine until his death in the late 1990s in Los Angeles. I combine orders to save on shipping. Contact me if you have any questions of concerns. No AI was used in the making of this listing!
