This is the“Pony Edition,”a special printing for U.S. Armed Forces distributed by the Army and Navy overseas through A.S.F. and Special Services channels. Identical in editorial content to the regular domestic edition but marked“Not for Sale”on the cover.
Condition: The condition is excellent. There are no folds, tears, or wear other than a small bit of wear visible on the upper and lower left corners on the stapled and folded side. There is a small spot on the left center of the cover. There are some spots on the lower left of the back cover. On page 5 there is a spot in the third line of the first column. Similar spots appear in the second column of page 6 and the top of the third column on page 18. Photos of all of the pages are included so you can determine the nature and extent of the spots and if I have missed anything. If you have any questions, please let me know.
