A variety of formats and pagination as described above. Vol. 3, No. 17 is no longer bound at the spine, but was ostensibly disbound for digitization as there is a library stamp at the top. Pages are corner-stapled, although the final leaf is loose. All other issues are VG, some light wear or closed tears to tabloids, faint penciled call #s to the corners.
