Condition
-
Very good condition - unmarked and clean inside.  Glossy covers are lightly soiled and marked from handling, with softened bumped corners and very light chipping along top and bottom of front cover.  A slight curve overall to the booklet.  Plastic comb binding in excellent condition.  Intact map in excellent condition.
Note - two or three of the photographs upon close inspection appear to be very high quality paintings or sketches - almost too good to be true, very well done.  A very nice 61-year-old vintage collectible travel piece that I was unable to find available anywhere in my online search - a couple of textual references but no copies.
