The wrappers are a little worn with some creasing and inevitable light bumping to the corners. Internally the pages are vibrant and clean although at some point the catalogue must have been stored in damp conditions as there is rippling to the pages and some colour bleed through throughout. I have highlighted this in the multiple photographs provided. Please study them closely. In my opinion the faults are not too disturbing and do not detract significantly from what is a truly scarce and much sought after twentieth century design artefact. This has been in my collection for several years and is a somewhat reluctant sale. An opportunity to acquire truly spectacular document of mid-century twentieth century design. Featuring the most wonderful, ingenious colour coded schematic design by Matter, exemplary product photography and the highest production values. Beyond saying that, I will let the pictures speak for themselves. There are many more items in my shop that don’t appear in regular item searches.
