* All are used with shelf wear and a some light bumping on the some of the corners. This is almost always the case with softbound catalogs, but they are mentioned for completeness. As always, if you would like picture, please let me know, they will be quickly provided. The shipping price is dependent upon the number of catalogs purchased.

 

Finally, a near complete set of John Reich Journals, it is quite rare to find so many of these issues in one place, especially the earlier ones.
