Title on spine states “Bulletins 1-11” but as you can see from the list above, some are not included.

Good condition. Bound together; original wrappers are not included. Binding is strong; there is the slight remnant of a sticker at the bottom of the spine and a sticker inside the front cover showing it was once in a library. Inside the boards the binding is starting to loosen a bit; the book is somewhat heavy; but the binding is still holding well. Rare to get all these bulletins bound in one volume!
