Covered with a clear plastic jacket that is missing some pieces. Pages are clean, tight and intact. A less glossy type of paper was used for the Statistics section and those pages are quite tanned with age. all water stain at the lower spine manifests to a greater or lesser degree on all pages.

The cover is damaged in two places over the spine. The lower damage appears due to some water intrusion, and interior pages show a little bit of water staining, especially on the outer pages, diminishing towards the center. (See photographs.) The upper damage looks to be from more mundane reasons, just caught on something and tore. There is an impact mark on the lower edge of the front cover as well. This annual review was published between the 1930s and the 1960s. I have found no volumes after this 1963 edition, so this may be the last of the series. The pages are clean tight and unmarked, other than the aforementioned water stain. A rare and valued edition, diminished by the damage but still quite readable with lots of historical information. This book will ship at over four pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.
