The maps are very good to near fine with just an occasional spot and a few short binding tears. The maps appear to have only been opened a few times. Report text is also very good with a few faint spots and light toning along the fore-edge of the text block. Front hinge is perished with the front cover nearly detached. The covers and spine are rubbed and chipped.
