This copy has a couple of flaws which prevent it from having a Very Good rating. The covers are bright with only minimal shelf wear. There is a manufacturing related wrinkle on the front, upper right, and some creasing on the rear (Both are visible in the cover pics). The textblock is bright and ordered. It had hundreds of light pencil notations.These have all (or almost all) been erased. There may be a little ghosting here and there. Fourteen pages had small labels pasted on the bottom margin. These have been removed with varying degrees of success (See pages 25/6 and 226 for examples). Finally there are two ink notations. One is tiny and innocuous while the other is seen on the Battleships picture above. In that same picture manufacturing related creasing can be seen. This is only on four pages. All in all a nice book.   #619.  Click on "Warship Observer" above for 100+ listings of JFS.
