Condition Notes:

This map guide shows authentic signs of age and handling but remains a highly desirable historical artifact. The interior text and map grids remain crisp, colorful, and highly detailed. Please note there is a prominent condition issue: one section is half-ripped along one of the factory fold seams. The map is currently stored and stabilized inside a clear plastic sleeve to protect it from further separation.

Shipping:

The map will remain inside its protective plastic sleeve and will be securely packed flat between thick, heavy layers of rigid cardboard.
