This book is severely damage at the spine; a handful of pages have completely separated from binding. I am posting this book because of the content. Published in 1973 the writing and photography are amazing. I'm hoping that someone will recognize the value and know how to properly restore books. Cover has a cloth feel with gold lettering down the spine. Previous owner taped an additional letter into the front cover, dated 1975. This book deserves to have a good home. Very minor wear otherwise.
