Time constraints prevent us from answering questions about what got reported in which issues of TIME. It will have to be sufficient to say that this book is in very good condition and looks complete. We are not able to guarantee that every single page is there or that over the past 60 years someone has not snipped out an article or photo. If they did, we did not notice it.
We offer this book as being in good, used as-is condition.
