Condition: Vintage - Used. Avearge Vintage Condition. This is the original 1955 release. It is in average condition considering its age. The greater deterioration is on the outside covers. They are worn, back is slightly faded with pencil marks, the gold binding is very worn and the front-inside cover has a child's name, "Gail Reeve" written in ink. The inside is in good condition. The pages are starting to yellow due to age, and there are small folds at the corners, there's only one minor tear on the bottom of first page, no missing or loose pages. It's a bit more "worn" than what shows in the pictures due to lighting. Pictures are the best way to access a book's condition. The last few pictures we've zoomed in on areas of concern. We never want to crease the books by fully opening them, this is why you'll notice the pictures are not always straight. If you still need more information, we are happy to answer any questions and send additional pictures. Please review all pictures and make sure you love this item before purchasing, we can't accept returns. Please remember these are ANTIQUE and VINTAGE items, they are NOT new, every effort has been made to show any scratches, wear and tear and imperfections.
