This is NOT a reproduction!!
Note:
This is a regular Playbill size program.
Condition is very good+ with minor wear including light staining, some edge wear and a small missing chip on the bottom left edge of the front cover.
International purchases are subject to a .00 handling fee.
CONDITION:
I use a six-step condition scale to describe the overall paper quality:  Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.  Good means just that:  desireable for a collection with no immediate need to upgrade.  Excellent and Mint are usually reserved for publisher and music store remainders.  Expect Good-minus and Fair to have considerable wear.  All specific condition faults are noted after the general condition.
IMAGES:
I use a digital camera so the entire piece is visible.
