Grey stiff paper wraps with a glued binding. Spine and narrow (1/2") strip at top of front are slightly faded. Black lettering on cover. Book is tight and square, despite format and size (396pp, 9" x 6") with no markings or flaws inside or out. A fantastic piece of history - of course the 1948 presidential election in the USA was famous for getting it wrong- predicting complete with headlines in the papers a Dewey win over Truman. The discrepancy was very much a focus and indeed stimulus for this report. Bulletin #60 from the Social Science Research Council. Quite Scarce.
