KONGA #14

The cover shows moderate handling wear consistent with a mid-grade Silver Age book: soft, slightly rounded corners at the top edges, a few faint vertical stress lines running through the yellow background near the spine, and minor rippling/waviness in the paper stock suggesting slight humidity exposure at some point. There is light edge wear along the bottom border near the Bonomo Turkish Taffy ad, with a small amount of chipping visible at the lower right corner. Colors remain bright and the image is not faded, and there are no obvious tears, tape, or writing. Interior and back cover were not assessed as only the front cover photo was provided; the book is currently housed in a protective sleeve which may be masking additional edge or spine wear.
