Nice copy! Yeah, it's great on the inside, but I'm gonna be leaving mine in the slab. It's the only one I've ever seen with straight white pages. I have a reprint of it and I'd like to pick up a restored copy to thumb up (thumbsu

Mine has some tear seals, but that's the only restoration from the label before I cracked it out.

This one has some color touch. Some might say that it's an improvement.  :luhv:   I'm adding a "stock" photo of a Wings 69 (I don't own the second copy) as a reference to what it actually looks like, so you can see where a previous owner did some color touch. Lots of modifications!

I can see that certain qualities of the book were significantly enhanced!  It's a good argument for the virtues of restoration.

At a local show last year, an out of town dealer set up (mighta been from Iowa) and their shop had gotten in an original owner collection that was an odd mix of mostly off-beat titles, nothing really mainstream at all. Some had been sold in their store to their regular customers but I WAS able to find an interesting stack amongst the remaining inventory.

This is one tough book! Took me a long time to find a copy.

Nice! :applause:

Thanks! This was another that I didn't remember seeing before, so I thought I'd better grab it. Such an odd mix of titles in that collection. I REALLY wish I'd have seen the entire hoard!!! However, I'm very happy to have found what I did!!!
