CONDITION NOTES:

Cosmetically, pretty rough shape. Front cover is hanging on by a thread...pretty much literally (just two small bands of cloth holding it on at top & bottom of spine, see 1st, 2nd & 3rd pics). Both front and back covers are badly creased (vertically) down their centers (see first 4 and last 2 pics). Aside from front cover, the 3-brass riveted binding is strong, firmly holding rear cover and ALL pages in place. NO missing pages. First (blank) page personalized in pencil (received date, name and a note of some sort, see 5th pic). Partial cardboard mail-in insert found within (see 10th pic). ALL pages are in excellent shape. We see NO rips, tears or any major defects/blemishes. Really, it's just the covers that are in poor shape. Otherwise, a really nice example of a very hard to find catalog. See pics.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT:

Measures 11-3/8" tall x 8-7/8" wide x 1-1/2" thick and has 548 numbered pages.

Weighs 4 lbs. 9.5 oz..
