- Summary
The booklet is illustrated throughout with lots of black and white photographs (although the quality of the photo's isn't particularly good)
The condition of the booklet is generally very good. The covers have one or two very minor scuffs, but the staple spine is intact and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound. Their is an old price printed on the front cover, and a small price sticker on the rear side cover.
Please note this booklet was published privately, and so lacks the finish of a more proffesional publication (i.e. all photographs are of photocopy quality). But this in now way detracts from its fascinating contents!
