This is for a copy of the vintage sleaze paperback book, The Double Bellied Companion by Akbar Del Piombo. Published by Traveller's Companion, Inc and dated 1955, 1959, 1965 and 1967. Covers show some wear, including some white showing overall (see hi-res scan). Covers and interior pages have some horizontal rippling, I think from poor storage (not water damage). Inside covers show tanning as does the very first and last page next to the covers. 156 pages. Interior pages are lightly tanned in the earlier part of the book and this shifts to more of an off-white, and then back to light tanning near the end. Perfect bound, and while binding feels ok, care should be taken when handling to ensure the continued integrity of the 55 year old glue.
