Atlas is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Book is not new or in "new" condition.

Covers worn, spine cloth frayed, slight bow to book, remains overall clean and attractive as an object. Essentially a collection of 48 state maps, each worthy of individual display.

Text block paper is gently toned, signs of handling, internally still clean, well preserved, tight, sound.

Still attractive on the shelf. The fragile book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this scarce pre- WW II cartographic item survives.
