This a vintage handyman's book with lots of still useful tips. The front cover is in very nice condition and would make a nice conversation piece or decorator piece with the bonus of having neat instructions. There is one loose page in the index and another page coming loose. This can be fixed with page reinforcers since this is a ring binder. There are some age spots on pages. No musty smells. There is even a section on keeping your bikes like new. I'll admit, I was tempted to keep this rather than listing it. This is the eighth printing. 1957. See pictures.
