U.K. The Amalgamated Press. 1946 Volume 7 Number 8. Mass Market Paperback. Good Plus.
U.K. August, 1946. 1 Shilling Thrupence is the original price. 112 pages, plus Back Cover advertising.
Spine: A bit crinkled from wear and torn at the top and bottom (3/4"). A small, 1/4" piece is missing from the bottom.
In General: The Front and Back Covers are dull newsprint type, not the glossy ones of later years. I believe England had a currency shortage which kept things a bit austere for a few years, which precluded buying quality newsprint.
This issue was mailed to Canada from England and has the original address and stamp on the back, dated 1945. 11/2 Pennies to mail a book Overseas in those days! A stitched binding. The upper right corner is bent (1/2" inward).

The Amalgamated Press. 1954 Volume 15 Number 11. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. Water Touched.
U.K. November, 1954. 1 Shilling 6 Pence is the original price. 144 pages, plus advertising. Beige paper, darker at the edges (1"). Tight binding, but a bit stiff, due to water touching the book.
Spine: Torn at the bottom (11/4") and has a small, 1/4" piece missing.
In General: Water touched the back pages, leaving its water mark along the top (1/4") and upper left side ( 1/2" x 21/2"), extending inward from the Back Cover to about page 62, becoming lighter and lighter. The same, from the Front Cover, inward, along the upper edges. The upper right corner has an upward lift, extending inward, in a triangular pattern, about 1/4" x 1". The bottom corner has an upward tilt (about 1/4 to 3/4" in size) where the book possibly was dropped (?) Story: Bradbury, Steinbeck, Burnett, and other Authors. Burnett wrote Little Caesar, amongst others. I believe ( as I haven't read it) it's possibly this story which was made into a movie, with Edward G. Robinson. 000450
