Christmas Number. Condition: There are bits of the top marbled paper layer that have peeled away on the covers. The cover corners are worn. There is a 2" crack to the leather at the bottom right corner of the spine resulting in the front cover being just a bit shaky. The back cover is firmly attached. Nice interior - the pages are lightly age-toned with only occasional light smudges here and there. Some issues have the number "3970" written in pencil at the top-right front cover corner. Overall the volume is in Good+ condition.
