Overall Condition
PoorNotes
Spine is broken. Many pages loose. The photos were pasted into the book and cannot be removed without further damage. Book was vacuumed lightly to minimize shedding of broken paper pieces. Some photos from these books were already removed (as evidenced by the black paper pasted to the back) and have been cataloged elsewhere.Relationships
