Item description from seller

See photos for condition details. Softcover, which is missing the entire exterior. There is no front or rear wrap, no spine, and the frontispiece illustration shows a lot edge chipping and tears. Despite the rough exterior (or lack of it) remaining binding is in very good condition. The text pages are well bound and the remaining binding is tight. There is no handwriting or damaged pages. The last page on this book is numbered 142, which is presumably the last page. The title page does show some soiling and smudge marks, as does page 142, remaining pages are clean. A nice tidbit that is included with this book is the ephemera that was likely inserted4 when the book was given out as a promotional item. On page 18 there is a tipped-in advertisement from the Dr. O. S. Highbarger's Optometrist of Hagerstown, MD, and at page 126 there is another tipped-in ad for the Kryptok bifocal lenses.
