Condition is fair. No dust jacket. Black cloth boards show substantial age and storage wear, including heavy rubbing, scuffing, staining, ring marks, edge wear, and areas of discoloration. Interior pages show general vintage wear but retain the wonderful period photographs and illustrations. Please review all photos carefully for exact condition.
A great reference or collection copy for fans of vintage surfing, surf photography, Hawaiian surf history, and John Severson.
