of the pages, and the  page edges of the book are darkened a bit.  But the 
covers are quite good  and it doesn't appear that any of the pages are 
dogeared or torn or anything.  Overall it's very nice for a 74 year old book (At 72 
I should look so good  ;-)

does, plus it's a nice book  to have in the library.  I DO have a number of PDF 
files of various  editions of the book (both 3rd edition and 4th edition for 
sure), but it's  nice to have the 'real' thing. Of course I HAD to buy it.
