'Why do you take the folder's word for it when you went over the trip yourself?' says I. 'Well,' says he, 'I met [a] blonde on the stage and I had to read up on the folder when the trip was over to find out what I should have seen.' We took the man's advice and started one morning on the big tree trip" (p. 11). Light tanning to pages along with Light wear and chipping to over-sized wrappers. Very good.
