All this literature is ORIGINAL, printed on high quality 8 ½ x 11 paper. Everything is 3-hole punched to fit in the binder, and in some cases the holes intrude into some of the material.
Overall, this is in EXCELLENT condition. The binder covers are slightly soiled and scuffed, and the ring mechanism has a patina of rust, but ALL the sales literature is in excellent, almost like new condition.
