Contents were originally string bound. String is no longer present but will allow the winning bidder to frame individual sheets if desired. Trace of moisture has caused bottom half of front side of two sided Von Stroheim “Wedding March” ad to adhere to previous page. Die-cut holes in blank margin edges have tiny splits, but images areas are otherwise bright, clean, and near Exc. Superb design and graphics throughout. A suede cover variety exists, but this is the first we’ve seen of this hard cover in our 47 years.
