One strip of the front cover has detached; the rear cover is glued to the page, obscuring whatever was printed on the cover. 2-3) The other side has two recital programs, 1924 and 1930, Paris, Texas. Both are glued to the page. NO LOCAL PICKUPS. We try to give an accurate description of any condition issues, provide photos, and welcome questions.
