General Condition notes : 11.5" x 9", very nicely illustrated, index. Good to Very Good unless otherwise stated.
Most have owner's stamp, filing marks or vintage price on the cover. Please ask if you need more information on any item.
Many papers older than about 1985 have some fading and minor wear on cover, and some have rusted staples.
Many of the older single lettered reports (like 154-G) need had stiffer outer wraps, so they have plain paper "wraps.".
Softcover = Paper wraps unless otherwise noted. A few duplicates of some early PP are not yet listed, ask if you want more than one.
A listing like "24 plates (3 in pocket)" means 24 total plates with 21 plates bound in text and 3 folded in pocket.
