Phillips 652. Lot Amendments Condition: Wrappers well worn, lacking portions along spine; contents dog-eared with edge wear; a rather plump worm has made its way throught the top right of the contents throughout, generaly in the margin but straying into the maps or printed portions of the text and tables at times, and since the table and maps are folding, most of them have three resultant holes; stains to last map (Antilles); still, very good overall, the maps on nice, thick paper, in rare original state.
