Condition - Interior is EXCELLENT for 80 years old.

The pin-up art plates - Moran, Elvgren, Armstrong - have no problems. No tears, no writing, no foxing. Colors are incredible!

A couple of the other subjects in the back have a very minor scrunch at the edge from 80 years of handling - very minor, does not affect image. Front cover has light handling crease as expected for age. Spiral tight, all pages intact.

I caught a minor musty wiff when I opened it, but not bad.

Please use the many pictures your guide to condition and what is included.

None of the 110 pages are missing. I counted 26 prints 12 of which are pinups and they’re also a couple of foldout pages.

This is a beautiful catalogue that rarely comes up, especially like this one!

Thank you for looking and have a great day!
