An excellent copy of the "MAD -- Buy it or Leave It" issue of 1971! Although I'm not a professional grader, I'd grade this as Fine/Very Fine. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES. It has intact pages and staples. There is very light wear and creasing to the front cover with a couple tiny tears of the left edge. There are light stress lines of the spine with some very tiny tears near the staples which are solid. The pages are in great shape with only light signs of aging. The back cover has very light wear. The Al Jaffee fold in is UNFOLDED. A great find!
