The front panel has no damage, just very light general wear. The interior is very clean and completely free of writing, stray marks, stains and page damage. The paper is moderately toned but is still flexible and not brittle; end pages have some slight toning. The hinges are strong and not damaged in any way. The colorful VG- jacket is moderately toned, with small chips at the four corners and at the head and heel of the spine; there is also wear along the front spine edge. A boy's story with lots of action, including hiding from a mobster, ransom notes, a shoot out and an attempted kidnapping.
