Condition: B+

Condition code is for the maps, which are very clean and bright, with an occasional spot and light toning along sheet edges, just entering the image on a few maps. There is a light damp stain at bottom right through pages 95-199, also entering the image on just a few maps. The maps are quite loose - barely held together by a string. The front and back covers are detached and soiled and the spine is perished. This should be considered a collection of maps.
