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

Binding age worn, spine with small chew loss and scuff abrasions, small edge splits and nicks, covers and numerous pages loose from stapled text block, assorted signs of handling and time but nothing severe or unsightly, book remains overall attractive as an object.

Paper is gently toned, some short edge and fold lines splits to some leaves due to the spine chew, still clean, the four of the five great main maps of interest all remain frameable individually if desired.

Still attractive on the shelf. The scarce and wonderful promotional program/ souvenir book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detail showing how this book survives. The asking price reflects the condition based on our examination and 40+ years full time exposure to antiquarian books, maps and printed ephemera of all types and genres. Flaws seen and/ or described have been taken into account.
