The front page has a banner headline announcing one of the more significant medical breakthroughs of the 20th century, the success of the polio vaccine: "U.S. OK'S SALK SERUM SALE" with subheads. Unfortunately there is a slice torn away along the upper right margin of the front page causing some loss of text and the end of the headline. (see) More on the inside pages and full page pictorial on the back page. (see)
Fifty-six pages, the mentioned loss on the front page, light toning at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, otherwise good.
