Love and the Facts of Life ~ by Evelyn Millis Duvall. Association Press (YMCA), 1967. Standard vintage paperback, 352 pages, 95¢ cover price. Moderate to heavy wear, previous owner's name written inside, stain on the back cover and several back interior pages, chipping around the edges. FAIR

Vintage popular priced books, paperbacks and magazines are subject to aging of the cheap internal paper, weakness or drying of the spine glue resulting in occasional loose pages, rusting of staples, and loss of original lamination (particularly early Dells). Previous bookseller's prices written lightly inside are typical and not considered a defect. I do not consider names written or stamped inside the book/magazine to be a serious defect but I note them if they are present. I do consider tape of any kind to be a serious defect and will only offer items with tape defects if they are particularly scarce or desirable.
